Childhood Hypertension

Objective: To determine the relationship between childhood hypertension and family history of hypertension in primary school children in Port Harcourt.Methods: A stratified multi-staged sampling technique was used torecruit pupils between 6-12 years of age, from thirteen primary schoolslocated in three school districts. Data was collected using a pretestedquestionnaire completed by parents / guardians. The average of three blood pressure measurements, weight and height were taken for each pupil, using standardized techniques. Hypertension was defined as average systolic and / or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equalto the 95th percentile for age, gender and height using the standard bloodpressure charts. Family history of hypertension was defined as eitherparent indicating on the submitted questionnaire that they were hypertensive (diagnosed by a physician and/or on antihypertensive drugs)or had a family history of hypertension.Results: A total of 1302 pupils with 717 (55.1%) females and 585(44.9%) males were studied, giving a female to male ratio of 1.2:1. Themean age of pupils studied was 8.82±1.91 years. Sixty one (4.7%)of the pupils examined had hypertension. Of the 1302 pupils, 316(24.3%) had a family history of hypertension. The mean systolic(p<0.001) and diastolic (p=0.220) blood pressures were higher in childrenwith a family history of hypertension than in those without. Ofthe pupils that had a family history of hypertension, 7.9% had  hypertension, while 3.7% of those that did not have a family history, werefound to be hypertensive (p=0.001).Conclusion: A family history of hypertension was associated with a higher prevalence of childhood hypertension than was seen in children without a family history of hypertension.Key words: Childhood Hypertension, Family history.

ABSTRACT The tongue microbiota of elderly adults is composed of two cohabiting commensal groups and their ratios are related to the number of teeth with dental caries experience. In this study, the variation in the tongue microbiota of primary school children and its relationship with the dental caries experience were investigated. We examined the tongue microbiota of 138 children aged 6 to 7 years and 11 to 12 years (61 and 77 children, respectively) who underwent annual dental examinations. The bacterial composition was determined by sequencing the V1-V2 region of the 16S rRNA gene. Cooccurrence network analysis indicated two groups of cohabiting predominant commensals in the tongue microbiota of children. The microbiota in children without a history of dental caries showed significantly higher relative abundances of one of the cohabiting groups, primarily composed of Neisseria subflava, Porphyromonas pasteri, and Fusobacterium periodonticum, compared to that in children with a history of dental caries, which is consistent with that of elderly adults with fewer teeth with dental caries experience. Linear discriminant analysis effect size (LEfSe) further identified Streptococcus oralis subsp. dentisani, belonging to the aforementioned commensal group, as a discriminant species in children without dental caries experience aged 6 to 7 years and 11 to 12 years. Our results describe the tongue microbiota composition of primary school children without history of dental caries and support the possibility that dental caries experience is accompanied by a shift in the tongue microbiota. IMPORTANCE Dental caries is now considered to be caused by acids produced by the overall dental plaque microbiota rather than by specific pathogens. This study focused on the relationship between dental caries experience and the variations in tongue microbiota, which is adjacent but separate from the dental plaque microbiota. Our results demonstrated that the tongue microbiota of primary school children with no history of dental caries experience was composed of predominant commensals with different relative abundances compared to those present in children with dental caries experience, suggesting that dental caries experience is accompanied by a shift in the tongue microbiota. The maintenance of a healthy tongue microbiota may indirectly contribute to the prevention of dental caries.

We present the history of the introduction to psychology of the concept of “internal position” and those methodological tasks for which it was requested. We define the internal position as an integrated dynamic system of meaning, motivational and voluntary regulation of human activity, which determines the choice of action in situations of uncertainty and struggle of motives. We analyzed current research of the internal position in school students, its features in modern children, its dynamics in primary school children. We show the importance of group sessions aimed at creating personal readiness for school, for the development of the internal position of a schoolchild. We describe a technique for diagnosing the internal position of a student to study the internal position in second graders, and provide the data on its validation. We discuss the results of studies of the internal position psychological functions and the dynamics of its development in modern younger students, conducted under the supervision of the author. We describe the types of the internal position in primary school children during the transition to high school. We show the dynamics of the internal position and its substantial changes during early school age.

Abstract Background: Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the most common acquired heart disease occurring in children and adolescents. RHD is associated with significant morbidity and mortality particularly in low and middle- income countries (LMICs) where the burden is estimated to be higher compared to high income countries. Subclinical RHD is the presence of valvular lesion diagnosed by echocardiography in a person with no clinical manifestation of RHD. This study aimed at determining the prevalence, types and factors associated with subclinical RHD among primary school children in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional, descriptive community-based study which recruited primary school children from February to May 2019. A standardized structured questionnaire was used to collect demographic data and information related to prior history of upper respiratory tract infections (URTIs). Anthropometric measurements were taken and chest auscultation and echocardiographic screening were done to all study participants. World Heart Federation echocardiographic classification was used to define the types and prevalence of subclinical RHD. Results: A total of 949 primary school children were enrolled with females being predominant (57.1%). The prevalence of subclinical RHD was 34 per 1000. All the participants had mitral valve disease only whereby 17 had definite disease and 15 had a borderline disease. The associated factors for subclinical RHD were older age of more than 9 years (OR 10.8, 95% CI 1.4-82.2, P=0.02) having three or more episodes of URTI in previous six months (OR 21, 95% CI 9.6-46, P=0.00) and poor hygiene (OR 3, 95% CI 1.3-6.8, P=0.009) Conclusion: Subclinical RHD as detected by echocardiographic screening is prevalent in primary school children, uniformly affects the mitral valve, and is associated with potentially modifiable risk factors. Children with a history of more than three episodes of URTI in six months may represent a particularly high-risk population that should be targeted for RHD.

AbstractThe primary aim of this study addresses a key question relating to the identification of the determinants of behavioral problems among primary school children. The secondary aim was to suggest remedial measures among teachers on how to deal with behavioral problems among students. An assessment of students studying from Class 2 to 5 was taken by the teachers using the Rutter Children Behavior Questionnaire to identify the ones with behavioral problems. Determinants of behavioral problems were identified using a self-administered questionnaire filled by the mothers of these children. Finally discussion on various findings of this study were done among the primary school teachers through a focus group discussion. Suggestions on how to deal with these problems were given to the teachers. Out of the 750 students who took part in this study, 65(8.7%) were identified by their teachers to have behavioral problems. Children whose biological parents were not currently married, those reported to have undergone physical harm routinely as a disciplinary measure, those with maternal history of inadequate diet during the related antenatal period and those belonging to nuclear families had behavioral problems in multivariable analysis. Adequate nutritional care need to be taken during early developmental years and correct disciplinary methods need to be advised to prevent behavioral problems among children.

Background: Acute otitis media (AOM) is the most common disease in young children requiring antibiotic treatment. Information on AOM-related determinant risk factors in primary school children is still limited, particularly in Indonesia. This study aims to identify risk factors related to AOM in primary school children in Banyumas Regency, Central Java, Indonesia.Design and Methods: This is an analytical study with a case-control design in Banyumas Regency, Indonesia. 3574 children from 6 regions of the Banyumas Regency were recruited for the screening of AOM detection, and confirmation of AOM diagnosis was determined by Otolaryngologist. One hundred and twenty-five cases and 125 control were involved in this study. Data collection was carried out using a structured questionnaire focusing on several variables such as household cooking fuel, house environment, smoking exposure, knowledge of parents, and nutrition status. Univariate, bivariate using chi-square and multivariate with regression logistic was conducted for data analysis. Results: This study highlights the risk of household firewood use (p=0.003), poor nutritional status (p=0.009), and a family history of ear infections (p=0.015) with an increased risk of otitis media.Conclusions: Household firewood use, poor nutritional status and family history of ear infection are factors associated with the occurrence of acute otitis media. It is necessary to provide public health education to prevent exposure to fuel at risk for children and to improve their nutritional status.

Introduction: Pediculosis capitis has been a worldwide concern among the vulnerable population of primary school children due to the physical, economical and psychological consequences that it brings to both the children and their caretakers. It is observed that there were only limited studies conducted in Malaysia and no previous study was done in Kuantan despite the health concern that it bears. Since both local and worldwide studies show that  Pediculosis capitis  is more prevalent among female as compared to male school children, thus, this study aims to investigate the prevalence and predictors of  Pediculosis capitis  among female primary school children in Kuantan. Materials and method: An analytical crosssectional study using cluster random sampling was carried out in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia. A self-administered validated questionnaire was used to collect the data among female primary school children from standard one to six. Hair and scalp examination was performed to identify presence of  Pediculosis capitis  infestation. Multivariate logistic regression was used to control for potential confounding and determine the predictors  Results: 10 schools participated in the study with total number of 636 female students as respondents. The overall prevalence of  Pediculosis capitis among female primary school children was 17.6% (n=112). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that Indian (OR=5.634, 95% CI= 3.157-10.055), history of contact with infested person (OR=2.822, 95% CI=1.6193.691) and those who had number of family members more than four (OR=0.065, 95% CI=0.008-0.550) were predictors for  Pediculosis capitis Conclusion: The prevalence of  Pediculosis capitis  among female primary school children in Kuantan, Pahang is endemic (17.6%) and predictors are Indian, history of contact with infested person and having family members of more than 4. Hence, there is a need for health intervention to reduce the burden of  Pediculosis capitis  infestation.

Introduction:  Pediculosis capitis  is a worldwide problem which carries significant consequences among the school children and caregivers. This study aims to investigate the prevalence and predictors of Pediculosis capitis  among primary school children in Kuantan, Pahang. Materials and method: An analytical crosssectional study using two-stage cluster random sampling was carried out among 1,365 primary school children in seven schools in Kuantan, Pahang. A selfadministered validated questionnaire was used followed by hair and scalp examination. Results: The median age of the respondents was 8.0 years. Majority of them were males (53.41%), Malays (60.29%), household income between RM1000RM2999 (31.87%) and from urban school location (98.68%). The overall prevalence of  Pediculosis capitis  was 9.6% (n=131). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that predictors for  Pediculosis capitis  were female (Odds ratio (OR)=8.571, 95% Confidence interval (CI)=5.024-14.620), Indian (OR=5.560, 95% CI=3.384-9.136), those with siblings more than five (OR=2.644, 95% CI=1.044-6.700), history of contact with infested person (OR=2.445, 95% CI=1.619-3.691) and urban school location (OR=0.030, 95% CI=0.284-0.091). Conclusion:  Pediculosis capitis  is a common public health problem affecting primary schoolchildren in Kuantan, Pahang and those levels are of epidemic importance. Hence, preventive measures are necessary to reduce the transmission of head lice among school children.

Abstract Background: Human scabies is a parasitic infection caused by Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis. Although affects all age groups; children are more vulnerable. In primary schools, scabies affects children's school regularity and performance. There is a gap of information on the determinants of scabies among primary school children in Ethiopia. The aim of the current study was to identify factors that determine scabies among primary school children in Habru district, North Wollo Zone, Amhara region, Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based unmatched case-control study was conducted among primary school children. Three hundred (100 cases and 200 healthy controls) study participants were enrolled. Skin examination of scabies was done by trained health professionals. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed by SPSS version 20 statistical software. Bivariate and multivariable analyses were used to identify factors that determine the dependent variable and statistical significance was declared at P value less than 0.05. Results: Sex, age, family size, family history of scabies, sharing of clothes with an infected person, previous history of scabies and number of sleeping rooms were found to be independent determinants of scabies. Male were more likely to have scabies (AOR= 7.5; 95% CI: 3.2, 24.4). Younger children were more prone to scabies. Children between 10-12 years of age (AOR= 8; 95%CI: 2.7, 24.2) were found to be the most affected age group followed by 13-15 years of age (AOR= 7.7; 95%CI: 2.6, 23.1). Other factors like family size ≥5 (AOR= 3.4; 95% CI: 1.5, 7.7), family history of scabies (AOR= 9.8; 95% CI: 3.9, 24.4), were also independent factors of having scabies. Conclusion: Being male, younger age group, family history of scabies, having more than five family members, having a smaller number of rooms, children’s previous history of scabies, and sharing of clothes were determinants of scabies among primary school children. Thus, the district health and education offices and the school community should work together to equip students and their families with scabies prevention and control strategies.
