Who are susceptible to hypertension ?

 In recent years, there has been a significant increase in patients with hypertension, and many people suffer from complications caused by high blood pressure. Therefore, people who are prone to hypertension need to be checked for hypertension regularly. So who are those who are prone to hypertension?

Parents with hypertension have a significantly higher probability of their children suffering from hypertension than parents with normal blood pressure. If one or two parents suffer from high blood pressure, the probability of their children suffering from high blood pressure is 1.5 and 2-3 times higher than normal. According to epidemiological statistics, some people are high-risk groups of hypertension: 1. If parents suffer from hypertension, the probability of their children suffering from hypertension is significantly higher than that of parents with normal blood pressure. 2. People who consume a lot of salt are prone to hypertension. High sodium intake can raise blood pressure while low sodium intake can lower blood pressure. The high calcium and high potassium diet can reduce the incidence of hypertension. 3. People who consume saturated fatty acids (such as animal fat) are more likely to suffer from high blood pressure than those who consume unsaturated fatty acids (such as vegetable oil and fish oil). 4. The prevalence of hypertension in long-term drinkers is increased, and it is directly proportional to the amount of alcohol consumed. 5. People who are engaged in highly concentrated work, long-term mental stress, and long-term exposure to noise and other adverse stimuli are prone to hypertension. 6. Smoking and obese people are also prone to hypertension.
