Background: Hypertension (HTN), i.e., elevated blood pressure, is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The present study was conducted to assess the prevalence of elevated blood pressure in adolescents in a known area. Materials & Methods: The community-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 13–18-year-old adolescents over a period of 1 year. 600 adolescents were included in the study. BP was measured. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data entry and analysis. p< 0.05 was taken as level of significance. Results: Of the 600 adolescents included in the study, elevated BP was prevalent in 13.33% adolescents. 15.83% adolescents were pre hypertensive and 70.83% were normotensive. Conclusion: The present study concluded that elevated blood pressure wasprevalent in 13.33% adolescents.
