A patient friend of mine comes to the clinic regularly for follow-up, and this time she was accompanied by her son, whom she calls “a young man with an old age disease”. Hypertension is becoming more and more common at a younger age, and according to a newly published cross-sectional study, the prevalence of hypertension among adults over the age of 18 in China is as high as 33.5%. And what is actually more frightening is that a lot of hypertension, from infancy, has already started. Young people with hypertension are mostly primary hypertension, which is characterized by the following three points: 1, unhealthy life and diet: young people nowadays, love to eat fried food, love to drink milk tea, soda and other sugary drinks, overeating plus lack of exercise, and its easy to lead to obesity, and it is known that abdominal obesity patients are a high-risk group for the development of hypertension. 2, high mental stress: from teenage school pressure to work pressure after graduation, it can be said that few young people do not stay up late, which has also become an important cause of hypertension. 3, family history of hereditary diseases and chronic diseases: purely familial hypercholesterolemia, type I diabetes family history, chronic kidney disease, Kawasaki disease, congenital heart disease history and so on. It is particularly important to be alert to the fact that if there is a history of the above mentioned diseases, these young people are more prone to lipid metabolism disorders and hypertension than other young people, leading to a significant increase in the incidence of atherosclerosis, which requires early and close monitoring of lipids and blood pressure, and even active drug control. Clinical manifestations: Generally no specific clinical manifestations, occasionally may be due to dizziness, blood pressure is mildly or moderately elevated, often through physical examination can be detected, easy to miss the diagnosis. The best way to prevent and control hypertension in young people is the prevalence of home blood pressure monitoring. Hypertension is not just a disease of the elderly, but the trend of its rejuvenation needs to be stopped together, no matter what age you are, let the attention to your blood pressure become a habit!
