A tabular dataset collected as part of a cross-sectional study in south-western Uganda. It contains information on demographic, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements from children aged 6-12 years. Children with elevated blood pressure (systolic and/or diastolic blood pressure greater or equal to the 95th percentile for age, height and sex) were invited for two further assessments 6-18 months later.
