Age of onset of hereditary hypertension

Hypertension is a disease that Chinese people are more likely to suffer from. It is very harmful and there is currently no effective treatment, so it can only be controlled through various means. Hypertension is hereditary. Many elderly people in the family have hypertension and are worried that it will be passed down to them, so they are more concerned about the age of onset of hereditary hypertension. So, what is the age at which hereditary hypertension occurs? Let’s take a look below.

Although hypertension is a hereditary or familial phenomenon, it can be avoided or reduced by paying attention to the maintenance of daily eating and living habits, such as sticking to a low-salt, low-fat, light diet, maintaining an optimistic, positive and peaceful attitude, and avoiding adverse factors such as excessive tension and anxiety. Genetic causes are usually caused at a younger age, such as around 30 years old, while other factors are usually more common after the age of 40.

Everyone knows that high blood pressure is related to genetics. Many data show that children whose parents have high blood pressure are also prone to high blood pressure; in families with a high incidence of stroke, family members are also more likely to suffer from the disease. Generally speaking, more than half of the cases are related to genetic factors, and less than half of the cases are caused by environmental factors.

Currently, most scholars believe that hypertension is a multi-gene hereditary disease. Through family surveys of patients with hypertension, it was found that if both parents suffer from hypertension, the probability of their children suffering from hypertension in the future is as high as 45%; if one parent suffers from hypertension, the probability of their children suffering from hypertension is 28%; and if both parents have normal blood pressure, the probability of their children suffering from hypertension is only 3%.

Principles of prevention and treatment:

1. Monitor your blood pressure regularly, at least once a year under normal circumstances.

2. Limit salt and supplement potassium. Gradually control the daily salt intake to 5 grams, and eat more potassium-rich fruits and vegetables (such as bananas, walnut kernels, lotus seeds, coriander, amaranth, spinach, etc.).

3. Prevent overweight and obesity.

4. Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption.

In summary, hereditary hypertension can be detected around the age of 30. It is recommended that patients with hypertension eat a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. For the control of hypertension, it is recommended to take Pingxin for treatment. I wish you a happy life! I hope my answer can help you
