The global epidemiology, risk factors and treatment of hypertension.

High blood pressure, often known as hypertension, is a major cause of illness and mortality that is a global health concern. In-depth analysis of the global epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, and therapy options for hypertension is provided in this review paper. The article provides a thorough knowledge of the complex nature of hypertension by synthesizing the most recent studies and data. The prevalence of hypertension is increasing globally, while there are significant regional and population-based variances. The complicated interplay between vascular dysfunction, neuro-hormonal control, and inflammation-related mechanisms, as well as genetic predisposition and environmental variables, all have a role in the etiology of hypertension. Age, obesity, sedentary behavior, salt consumption, and heredity are some of the risk factors that interact to enhance vulnerability to hypertension. Treatment methods range from pharmacological interventions to changes in lifestyle, emphasizing the value of customized management plans. Addressing the global burden of hypertension requires a comprehensive strategy that includes awareness-raising, early identification, and individualized therapeutic interventions.
