Risk factors for hypertension include genetic factors, environmental factors such as high salt and high fat diet, psychiatric factors, smoking, etc., and other factors such as obesity and adrenocorticotropic hormone.
1. Genetic factors: hypertension has obvious family aggregation, and there may be major gene dominant inheritance as well as polygenic association inheritance.
2.Environmental factors:
(1) High-salt and high-fat diet: excessive sodium intake tends to lead to hypertension, high protein intake is also an antihypertensive factor, elevated saturated fatty acids, saturated fatty acids/polyunsaturated fatty acids may also lead to hypertension, in addition to the amount of alcohol consumed may lead to an increase in systolic blood pressure.
(2) Mental factors: mental laborers, those engaged in occupations with high levels of mental stress, and those living in noisy environments for long periods of time with weakened hearing are prone to suffer from high blood pressure.
(3) Smoking: Smoking causes an increase in the release of norepinephrine from the sympathetic nerves and impairs nitric oxide-mediated vasodilation, leading to hypertension.
3. Other factors: obesity can easily lead to hypertension, adrenocorticotropic hormone and other drugs can lead to hypertension, sleep apnea syndrome is also related to hypertension.
It is recommended to monitor the blood pressure in daily life, pay attention to diet and so on, if found that the blood pressure rises, it is recommended to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
