Hypertension Risk Factors

There are several risk factors for hypertension.  Some risk factors, such as unhealthy lifestyle habits, can be changed. 

 Other risk factors, such as age, family history and genetics, race and ethnicity, and gender, cannot be changed.  Healthy lifestyle changes can reduce your risk for developing high blood pressure.

Hypertension Risk Factors

Hypertension Risk Factors- Age

 Blood pressure increases with age.  Our blood vessels naturally become thick and strong over time.  These changes increase the risk of hypertension.

Family History & Genetics

 High blood pressure is often passed on from generation to generation. Most of the understanding of body systems involved in high blood pressure has come from genetic studies. 

 Research has identified several gene variations associated with small increases in the risk of developing hypertension. 

 New research suggests that some DNA changes during fetal development may also lead to the development of hypertension later in life.

 Hypertension Risk Factors- Changes in blood vessel function

The lining of blood vessels causes more damage over time.  This may be due to oxidative stress or DNA damage, among other factors.  

With age, the level of the hormone angiotensin also increases, leading to inflammation in the blood vessels.

Changes in blood vessel composition

 Blood vessels contain layers of protein elastin and mucus.  Elastin is what makes the blood vessels flexible.  

Collagen, the thick fluid that gives it structure.  With age, elastin breaks down.  Even the elastin that remains is less elastic.

 Meanwhile, collagen keeps accumulating in it.  As a result, the blood vessels become thicker, causing them to bend less over time and bend easily.  These changes can lead to high systolic blood pressure.

Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits

Unhealthy lifestyle habits can increase the risk of hypertension.  These habits include:


  •  Unhealthy food items such as eating too much sodium
  •  Drink too much
  •  Being physically inactive

Symptoms of fatal hypertension

  •  Cerebral hemorrhage

  •  Blurred vision
  •  Reduced urine output

  1. Its a pleasure for me to write this testimony about how i got my Genital Herpes cured a month ago. i have been reading so many comments of some people who were cured from various diseases by Dr. Edes, but i never believed them. I was hurt and depressed, I was too curious and wanted to try Dr.Edes, then i contacted him through his email (dredeshome@gmail.com) when i contact him, he assured me 100% that he will heal me, i pleaded with him to help me out. My treatment was a great success, he healed me just as he promised. He sent me his medication and ask me to go for check up after 14 days of taking the medication. i agreed with him and i took his medication and went for check up, to my greatest surprise my result was negative after the treatment, i am really happy that i am cured and healthy again. I have waited for 3weeks to be very sure i was completely healed before writing this testimony. I did another blood test one week ago and it was still Herpes negative. so i guess its time i recommend anyone going through Herpes HSV-1 or HSV-2, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, Diabetes, Cancer should reach him through his Email dredeshome@gmail.com OR add him on whatsapp +2348151937428.
