RESUMEN

Introducción:

Existen gran cantidad de factores de riesgo para el desarrollo de hipertensión arterial. En pleno siglo XXI se imponen formas más inteligentes de investigar, teniendo en cuenta lo que debe constituir un objetivo prioritario, es decir, evitar la conversión de un adolescente en riesgo cardiovascular a un adulto hipertenso.

Objetivo:

Diseñar un modelo de predicción, para pronosticar la conversión de un adolescente prehipertenso en un adulto hipertenso.

Métodos:

Se estudió una muestra representativa de 125 adolescentes pertenecientes al proyecto "Pesquisaje Escolar en la Adolescencia de Hipertensión Arterial" (PESESCAD-HTA), con diagnóstico de prehipertensión en el año 2001, que fueron seguidos por ocho años (96 meses), hasta enero de 2009.

Resultados:

Se obtuvo un modelo predictivo, basado en la regresión logística con un índice de exactitud de 70.4%.

Conclusiones:

La conversión de un adolescente prehipertenso en un adulto hipertenso, se puede vaticinar con una exactitud adecuada.
ABSTRACT

Introduction:

There are many risk factors for developing hypertension. In the XXI century, smarter ways to investigate are needed, so preventing the turning of an adolescent into a hypertensive adult must be a priority.

Objective:

The aim of this paper is to predict the risk of hypertension onset in adulthood, from cardiovascular tension and risk stratification since adolescence.

Methods:

A representative sample of 125 adolescents from the project "Pesquisaje Escolar en la Adolescencia de Hipertensión Arterial" (PESESCAD-HTA) was studied. They were diagnosed with prehypertension in 2001, and were followed for eight years (96 months) until January 2009.

Results:

Two predictive indexes were obtained. The first, based on the total cardiovascular risk and the second from the multiplication of these risks with an accuracy index for each of 61.6% and 70.4%, respectively.

Conclusions:

The index based on the multiplication of cardiovascular risk can predict, with adequate accuracy, the turning of a prehypertensive adolescent into hypertensive once he/ she reaches adulthood.
