Kid's BP
Checks Urged Due to Obesity
(AP, 5/20/04)
American young people are increasingly overweight and
consequently tend to suffer from cardiovascular symptoms at an

Program has, therefore, issued guidelines recommending that
doctors routinely test the blood pressure of children
beginning at age 3 and, where indicated, follow up with
assessments of possible cardiovascular damage. |
