By ABC7
LOS ANGELES Researchers said one in five /*West Virginia*/ fifth graders has high blood pressure, putting them at risk for heart attack and stroke as adults.

Doctors said these findings reveal that the obesity epidemic has brought with it risk factors for heart disease rarely seen in children just a few decades ago.

It's not known how many children nationwide have /*high blood pressure*/.
