High blood pressure is the most common disease among the “three high” diseases. The symptoms of high blood pressure are not clear. It often lasts for a long time when we find it. High blood pressure is the main cause of sudden death of many cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. What are the high-risk groups of high blood pressure?
1. Obese people
Obesity is mainly due to the increase of body subcutaneous fat, which increases weight, blood volume, heart burden and blood vessel resistance, so it is prone to high blood pressure.
2. People who like salty food
Table salt contains sodium. If you eat salt, you will consume more sodium. Sodium will hold back the water in your body, increase the blood volume, and cause high blood pressure.
3. People who smoke and drink a lot
Drinking more than 200 ml a day will cause alcohol to damage the arteries in the body and cause arteriosclerosis and increase blood pressure as time goes by. If you smoke at the same time, the increase in blood pressure will be aggravated.
4. People who are chronically nervous and impatient
Long-term adverse stimulation, such as mental tension, emotional excitement, anxiety and noise coupled with the imbalance of physiological regulation in the body, the senior nervous function of the cerebral cortex is dysfunctional, which is prone to high blood pressure. Although the blood volume of thin people is not as large as that of fat people, it can also cause high blood pressure due to other factors. Thin people should never ignore their blood pressure.
5. People with high blood pressure family genetic genes
People who have a family history of high blood pressure and have bad habits and bad stimulation are often prone to high blood pressure. However, if you develop good living habits, such as eating less salt, not smoking, not drinking, and not being fat, you can also avoid high blood pressure.
With the increase of age, the elasticity of blood vessels is poor, and the resistance of arterioles is increased, so the blood pressure increases. Persistent high blood pressure can damage and change the arterial wall and aggravate arteriosclerosis, both of which are cause-and-effect relationship, so the elderly are prone to high blood pressure.
