“…A National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute advisory on Primary Prevention of Hypertension and the Lancet Commission on Hypertension has identified the promotion of a healthy lifestyle in childhood and young adulthood, with a particular focus on lowering caloric intake combined with an increase in physical activity, as critical in the prevention of hypertension 34, 35. The current study supports these recommendations and suggests that primordial prevention beginning at a young age may be effective in preventing hypertension in some young adults, but may not fully eliminate disparities in hypertension incidence by race.…”

“…It is vital that one considers cardiovascular health and its determinants from a life course perspective 1, 7, 8. Raised blood pressure with advancing age is not observed in all societies,9 suggesting that this is not an inevitable part of the aging process.…”

“…Hypertension and associated cardiovascular diseases are a global health burden with increasing prevalence across all continents [1416]. Hypertension is in many cases asymptomatic and awareness of the condition is therefore limited until organ damage, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure occur.…”

“…Hypertension is in many cases asymptomatic and awareness of the condition is therefore limited until organ damage, such as stroke, myocardial infarction, or heart failure occur. However, even those who are aware of high blood pressure are often not receiving treatment, and blood pressure control rates in treated patients remain low [16,17]. It is evident that in addition to widespread use of existing diagnostic and therapeutic options there must be novel approaches to tackle this global problem.…”
