Background: The association of adiposity during childhood with future risk of elevated blood pressure (BP) in South Asian children is not known. We aimed to investigate the relationship between waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI) with BP over a 2-year period, independent of the baseline BP. Methods: We analyzed data on children aged 5-14 years who participated in the Control of Blood Pressure and Risk Attenuation (COBRA) trial in Karachi, Pakistan. Separate multivariable models were built for WC and BMI using generalized estimation equations to determine the association between the baseline and changes in adiposity with the primary outcome of increase in systolic BP (SBP) over 2 years of follow-up. Results: We assessed 1,675 ...
