Excerpt from Update on the Task Force Report (1987) On High Blood Pressure in Children and Adolescents: A Working Group Report From the National High Blood Pressure Education Program This report updates the 1987 report and includes the following new information. New data, such as results from the 1988-91 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, have been included to develop revised normative blood pressure tables, which now include height percentiles, age, and gender. The normative blood pressure tables use the fifth Korotkoff sound for the definition of diastolic blood pressure for all age groups except infants younger than 1 year of age.
