What Is Hypertension?
Hypertension is a condition in which the blood pressure is elevated. It is one of the most common chronic conditions in adults, affecting more than one-third of adults worldwide.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) estimates that about 30% of all U.S. adults have hypertension and that about half of these people are not aware they have it. Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, two leading causes of death in the United States.
Hypertension can be caused by several factors including age, obesity, lack of physical activity or sleep deprivation as well as other medical conditions such as kidney or thyroid problems.
