How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Objective: to investigate the dependence between eating behavior, ethnicity, gender, and hypertension in adolescents 12 to 13 years of age Design and method: Cross-sectional study of adolescents with 12–13 years studying at 12 midlle schools. There were included in the study 1473. Age, gender, nationality, BP, height, questionnaire data where taken for analysis. BP was measured three times by oscilometric method and high BP was defi ned as systolic BP (SBP) and/or diastolic BP (DBP) > = p95 for age, gender and height percentile. Results: 1473 adolescents were evaluated (48,8% males). The prevalence of elevated BP was 12,6%. For comparison, according to nationality, 2 most numerous groups were singled, the Kazakh population was 87% (n = 1282) and Russian 13% (n = 191) adolescents. Boys with hypertension consume table salt (65.9%) more than girls (64.3%) (p = 0.705). Adolescents of the Russian population no longer consume fatty foods, irrespective of the level of blood pressure. The situation of eating fast food by teenagers of 12–13 years is regarded as unsatisfactory, 79.2% (n = 1167) of teenagers consume fast food, teenagers with hypertension are slightly more than teenagers with normal BP indicators (p = 0,946). Teenagers of Russian nationality are more likely to abuse fast food than teenagers of Kazakh nationality, regardless of the level of blood pressure. Conclusions: The data of the study showed high prevalence of hypertension (12.6%) in the population among adolescents 12–13 years old. Adolescents who do not consume and limit the consumption of fatty foods accounted for the majority of 63.8%. The situation with the use of fast foods by adolescents is unsatisfactory.
