Aswathi Saji,Tinku Thomas,Harshpal Singh Sachdev,Anura V Kurpad and Anil Vasudevan This study compares the prevalence of high blood pressure among Indian adolescents using Indian and AAP-CPG 2017 reference standards and examines their association with cardiometabolic risk factors. Findings show that AAP-CPG identifies higher prevalence and stronger clustering with metabolic risk markers, highlighting the need for validated, nationally representative BP reference standards for Indian adolescents.
