What are the risk factors for hypertension

1. The main evidence that salt in high-sodium diets is associated with hypertension comes from comparative studies among populations. Restricting sodium intake (salt and sodium-containing foods) in patients with hypertension reduces blood pressure, as does diuretics and sodium discharge. High blood pressure is unknown in some people with low sodium intake, while in Japan, where the average person consumes two to four times as much sodium as in the United States, almost a third of the population has high blood pressure. According to our survey, the average salt intake of residents in heilongjiang was 17~17g/d, which was significantly higher than physiological needs and the national average, and the incidence of hypertension was higher than the national average.

2. Tension stimulation tension stimulation is a series of activities that are caused by internal and external tension stimuli with obvious subjective sense of urgency, corresponding expression of nervous behaviors and accompanying physiological and psychological changes. Exciting significantly enhance the role of brainstem reticular uplink activation system excitability, cause a series of blood catecholamine hormone increases, blood pressure, heart beat faster, head and muscle increased blood supply, visceral blood supply is reduced, this period if too strong persistent or recurrent, can cause the function of cardiovascular system and organic damage.

3. Overweight and obesity caused by weight gain are the primary independent risk factors for hypertension, coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke.

4. Drinking alcohol in nearly 30 studies in Europe, America and other countries have found that excessive drinking (daily alcohol intake is greater than or equal to 35g) can increase the prevalence rate of hypertension, and control the drinking, the blood pressure level is significantly reduced.

Smoking smoking can dramatically increase blood pressure in a short period of time. Studies have shown that patients with hypertension who quit smoking can greatly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Regular physical activity without exercise is not limited to reducing the risk of the heart. Regular exercise can relieve mental tension, enhance physical fitness and improve cardiac function.

Genetic factors many studies in recent years have shown that hypertension is a variety of genetic diseases, the incidence of which is affected by genetic factors and related to environmental factors.
