Blood pressure and sexual maturity in adolescents: the heartfelt study
Article Abstract:
This article investigates the relationship between sexual maturity and blood pressure levels in male and female adolescents. Findings indicate that blood pressure measures were higher among sexually mature participants and that advanced sexual maturity for age is related to higher systolic blood pressure in both groups.

Anger expression, body fat, and blood pressure in adolescents: Project HeartBeat!
Article Abstract:
This article examines the possible influences on anger expression and blood pressure in teenagers, including potential influences such as growth, body composition, and sexual maturity. Results show that blood pressure and anger expression are unrelated; however, body mass is often associated with unhealthy forms of anger expression.

Percentiles of body composition from bioelectrical impedance and body measurements in U.S. adolescents 8-17 years old: Project Heartbeat!
Article Abstract:
Project Heartbeat! is a mixed longitudinal study of blood pressure, cardiac structure and function, blood lipids, and health behaviors in children between eight to seventeen years of age. It shows reference percentiles for body mass index and percent body fat (PBF) among other things, derived from biometrical impedance and indicated that increased values of PBF for cardiovascular risk were located at the 85th percentile.
