ABSTRACT
Thee prevalence of hypertension was studied among 3307 school and college going students aged 13 to 25 years. Amongst them were 59% males and 41% females. Of the age group studied 5.81% were found to have a diastolic blood pressure above 90 mm Hg and a systolic blood pressure above 140 nut Hg. It was concluded that the diagnosis of hypertension will be missed unless the recording of blood pressure is made an integral part of a routine physical examination in younger patients
