Yes, It's a Global Issue

 

High blood pressure in children is not just limited to the United States of America.  This is an issue that can affect children in any region of the world.  Hypertension can affect children as young as three years old and it doesn't matter their age, gender, or nationality.  Hypertension does not discriminate.  Blood pressure monitoring is important for kids EVERYWHERE!  There are even certain areas that have been mentioned in studies as having higher than normal numbers of kids with high blood pressure.
