Background: Even a slight elevation of blood pressure (BP) in childhood is likely to elevate the risk of hypertension by several folds in adult population. This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of high blood pressure among school children. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted to assess the prevalence of high blood pressure among school children. This study comprised overall 100 school-going children. The children aged from 8-15 years with mean age of 11.3 years. A thorough physical examination of all the children was carried out. Vitals of all the children had been noted. The study excluded those who were on antihypertensive medication. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS software. Results: In this study, out of 100 subjects, 65 were males and 35 were females. Hypertension was found in 23 (23%) subjects and was absent in 77 (77%) subjects. Hence, the prevalence of hypertension among school-going children in this study was 23%. Conclusion: The prevalence of hypertension among school-going children in this study was 23%.
