    Childhood hypertension and obesity are prevalent health issues globally, with obesity increasing hypertension risk in children.

  • 2

    The study involved 756 obese children, revealing a hypertension detection rate of 20.6% and a mean age of 11.9 years.

  • 3

    Logistic regression identified neutrophils, NLR, platelet count, albumin, and triglycerides as independent risk factors for hypertension.

  • 4

    Restricted cubic spline analysis showed a linear increase in NE, NLR, PLT, ALB, and TG with hypertension risk.

  • 5

    A nonlinear dose-response relationship was found between PLT and systolic blood pressure, but not with diastolic blood pressure.
