Background and Objective: With the development of economy, people's quality of life has been improved, obesity caused by over-nutrition has increased among teenagers, and the age of patients with obesity induced hypertension has been younger and younger.

Methods: In order to effectively prevent and treat adolescent hypertension, this study collected the data of age, height, weight, demographic characteristic, waist circumference, hip circumference, knowledge of hypertension and blood pressure of 1000 students at Grade 7 ~ 9 in XX middle school through questionnaire and physical examination, and the relationships between the above factors were analyzed. Students with obesity induced hypertension were given comprehensive intervention. Blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose and body mass index were detected before and after treatment.

Results: Obesity index of students with hypertension were significantly higher than those of normal students. Age, waist circumference and body mass index significantly affected the risk of hypertension. After comprehensive intervention, the blood pressure, blood lipid, body mass index and glycosylated albumin of students with hypertension decreased, glucagon increased, and no significant changes were found in other blood glucose indexes.

Conclusion: Obesity increases the risk of hypertension, and comprehensive interventions can effectively prevent and treat adolescent hypertension.
