Current perspectives and prevention strategies of hypertension among adolescents and adults
Journal of cardiovascular disease research(2021)
摘要
Purpose: In this review, we compared hypertension between adolescents and adults and evaluated
distinctive prevention programs.
Research Methodology: Systematic Review
Results:At present, the definition of hypertension used in adolescents, especially those aged >13
years, is the same as that in adults so that blood pressure monitoring can be easily performed.
Despite the aforementioned programs for preventing hypertension, unsatisfactory results are
observed in adults; adults find it difficult to follow the program because it is difficult to change
unhealthy lifestyle habits, such as low physical activities, bad food habit, poor sleeping pattern,
stress, and smoking habits, which have developed in adolescence. Thus, it is important to start
preventing hypertension during adolescence to prevent hypertension in adulthood.
Limitations: This paper is not a meta-analysis. Prevention strategies of hypertension may vary
among countries from different cultural and characteristic conditions.
Contribution: This review could contribute positively in decreasing the incidence of hypertension
worldwide.
