ABSTRACT
BACKGROUD Several lifestyle-related behaviors are associated with cardiovascular health outcomes in adolescents. To examine the associations between clustered lifestyle-related behaviors and blood pressure (BP) levels in adolescents. METHODS:
Participants were recruited by multistage random cluster in two cross-sectional studies; one conducted in 2006 and 2007 in ten cities from nine European countries Athens and Heraklion in Greece, Dortmund in Germany, Ghent in Belgium, Lille in France, Pécs in Hungary, Rome in Italy, Stockholm in Sweden, Vienna in Austria, and Zaragoza in Spain; and another conducted in 2007 one city in Brazil (Maringá/PR). Systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP) (outcomes) and clustered behaviors (weekly consumption of fruits and vegetables, weekly consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages, sleep duration, screen time and physical activity) were analyzed.RESULTS:
The Healthy Eating cluster was negatively associated with DBP in European girls, ß=-2.46 (-4.62; -0.30), and with SBP in Brazilian boys, ß=-2.79 (-3.10; -0.15). Furthermore, the Unhealthy Eating cluster was associated with increased SBP in European girls, ß=4.54 (1.29; 7.79), and in Brazilian boys, ß=4.10 (0.80; 7.40).CONCLUSION:
The Healthy Eating cluster was associated with lower blood pressure, whereas the Unhealthy Eating cluster was associated with increased SBP in adolescents.Palavras-chave
