We assessed some major determinants of blood pressure (BP) in young adulthood to plan a lifestyle changes policy METHODS: A cross sectional survey was held, involving 2373 high school people (age 18-21), measuring BP, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WCirc), fat free mass (FFM); alcohol and smoking habits were evaluated by a questionnaire. In a subset of this population (n = 60) uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were also evaluated.
