Ambulatory twenty four hour blond pressure monitoring (ABPM) is an exact method, enabling by repeated measurements to create blond pressure profile, which shows a Glose correlation with end organ damage. Normal values esere taken from clinical trials, where the mean age of probands was highly above 30 years. The aim of this trial was to determine mean values for ABPM in population aged 18 - 30 years and to create „normal values" for this population. We have examined 162 probands. The mean office blond pressure was 128.18 ± 11.2/82.91 ± 8.29 mm Hg, the mean ABPM (24 hours) was 118.51 ± 9.11/70.59 ± 6.30 mm Hg. Systolic, mean and pulse pressure was significantly higher in males. Systolic and pulse blond pressure showed a Glose correlation with height, weight, waist and waist/hip ratio (r = 0.40 - 0.47). The upper value of 24 hour BP in young population is between 125/75 mm Hg and 130/80 mm Hg according to our results.
