    Uploaded by

    Muhammad Nazif
    Hypertension is a chronic medical condition characterized by elevated blood pressure. It poses serious risks to vital organs like the heart, kidneys, and brain. Several factors can increase one's risk of developing hypertension, including age, obesity, family history, race, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, stress levels, and certain medications. The incidence and prevalence of hypertension has been increasing in Ontario, Canada from 1995 to 2005. Lifestyle changes like maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, quitting smoking, managing stress, and following a diet rich in potassium and calcium can help prevent hypertension.
