RESUMEN
Object of this study is to analyse relationship between blood pressure and a set of somathologic variables, including skinfold thickness and stages of sexual development (Tanner's standards), in three different ontogenetic phases. 1,200 boys and 1,100 girls from elementary statal schools of Alcalá de Henares have been studied. Age groups, 6.5, 10.5 and 13.5 years, are the starting point for a semi-longitudinal study of three years. In the two younger groups, blood pressure variables show direct positive association with general development variables, and specially with stages of sexual maturation. In the oldest boys group (13.5 years), this association is lower, and disappears in girls with have reached menarche at this age.
