Established risk factors for essential [[hypertension]] include African American ethnicity, [[dyslipidemia]], [[diabetes mellitus]], increased [[alcohol]] intake, increased [[salt]] intake in diet, [[obesity]], and a sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise.
Established risk factors for essential [[hypertension]] include old age, male gender, African American ethnicity, [[dyslipidemia]], [[diabetes mellitus]], smoking, increased [[salt]] intake in diet, [[obesity]], and sedentary lifestyle. Studies are currently assessing the role of new emerging factors that might be considered as new risk factors for the development of hypertension.

Overview

Established risk factors for essential hypertension include old age, male gender, African American ethnicity, dyslipidemia, diabetes mellitus, smoking, increased salt intake in diet, obesity, and sedentary lifestyle. Studies are currently assessing the role of new emerging factors that might be considered as new risk factors for the development of hypertension.

Risk Factors

Several factors have been robustly associated with hypertension, particularly cardiovascular risk factors. Nonetheless, other emerging factors have been linked to an increased risk of developing hypertension in select studies.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors

  • Age: Men > 55 years, women > 65 years[1]
  • Ethnicity: African American[2]
  • Smoking: Cigarettes [3]
  • Alcohol: Excessive intake of more than 2 alcoholic drinks per day[4]
  • Dyslipidemia: Elevated total cholesterol > 190 mg/dL and/or LDL > 115 mg/dL and/or HDL < 40 mg/dL for men and 45 mg/dL for women and/or triglycerides > 150 mg/dL[1]
  • Insulin resistance: Fasting plasma glucose 102-125 mg/dL, and/or abnormal glucose tolerance test[1]
  • Known cardiovascular diseases[5]
  • Known kidney diseases[5]
  • Family history of hypertension: Paternal or maternal[6]
  • Family history of CVD: Men < 55 years and/or women < 65 years[1]
  • Diet: Low in fruits and vegetables; excessive sodium intake[7]
  • Obesity and recent weight gain: BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2[8] or waist circumference for men > 102 cm or for women > 88 cm (in Caucasian adults)
  • Sedentary lifestyle[5]
