Health Info

Hi guys, happy to meet you all with an interesting article about the
latest cine gossips.High blood pressure is the main risk factor for
stroke and a major risk factor for heart attack, heart failure and
kidney disease. There is also increasing evidence that it is a risk
factor for vascular dementia. One in three adults in the general
population have high blood pressure. Aound a third of people with high
blood pressure do not know that they have it, as there are no obvious
symptoms. This is why it is often called the 'silent killer'. High
blood pressure is a level consistently at or above 140mmHg and/or
90mmHg. 1 per cent of men and 28 per cent of women have high blood
pressure. People with high blood pressure are three times more likely
to develop heart disease and stroke and twice as likely to die from
these as people with a normal blood pressure. High blood pressure
rarely has any symptoms, the only way for people to know if they have
the condition is to have their blood pressure regularly measured.
Thanks for your time.
