Resumo
This is a protocol of a review paper, and there is no abstract. This review is part of a doctoral
project that aims to develop a discrete event simulation model to predict how many adoles-
cents may become hypertensive in adulthood. We will use data from the Brazilian study of
cardiovascular risks in adolescents, called ERICA (Portuguese acronym). This study may
help promote adherence to disease prevention protocols.
