Core Tip	Elevated blood pressure in youth predicts adult hypertension and end-stage organ damage but most youth with elevated blood pressure are left undiagnosed. In this review, we examine current classifications of youth blood pressure, recent trends in youth blood pressure, the adult consequences of elevated youth blood pressure, and lifestyle factors associated with improved blood pressure status from youth to adulthood. We show that identification of youth with elevated blood pressure may prove effective in preventing associated adult complications and that youth with elevated blood pressure may benefit most from interventions aimed at improvements to adiposity between youth and adulthood.
