World Hypertension Day: Are youth becoming victims of high blood pressure?

World Hypertension Day 2023: High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a common health condition that affects people of all ages. While it was once thought to primarily affect older individuals, it is now being seen in younger populations as well. Shockingly, more than one billion people worldwide are estimated to have high blood pressure.

This staggering number is why World Hypertension Day is celebrated annually on May 17th. The day serves as an opportunity to raise awareness about the dangers of high blood pressure and promote prevention strategies. By educating individuals about the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regularly monitoring their blood pressure, we can work towards reducing the prevalence of this condition and improving overall health outcomes.
