SBP: systolic blood pressure; DBP: diastolic blood pressure

Height in centimeters for each age represents the 5th, 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, 90th, 95th percentiles for males.

BP percentiles apply exactly for the midpoint of each age group (e.g., 6 years 6 months old) and can be applied to all children and adolescents of that age.

For research purposes, one can run the SAS codes in the Supplemental File to get prevalence of pre high BP, stages 1 and 2 high BP.
