The assessment of blood pressure in children and adolescents is of great importance in order to gain a better understanding of its pattern of evolution. The authors publish the normal values of blood pressure in Portuguese children and adolescents, according to age and sex, as well as the mean values of the 90th percentile, which are very important to separate normal children from those with high blood pressure. In this study the fifth Korotkoof sound is used to define diastolic blood pressure in all ages. New blood pressure tables are also published, for children and adolescents, that now include the height percentile for age and blood pressure. These new charts have been developed to guide practising clinicians in antihypertensive drug therapy, when indicated.
