More about Salt and Hypertension

The discussion about hypertension or high blood pressure cannot be separated from salt (sodium). In a broader context, it does not mean that salt is not useful. However, when the intake exceeds what the body tolerates, excess salt intake will have counterproductive effects, such as high blood pressure, the heart is working too hard, the blood vessels become inelastic, even stiffer, stroke, chronic kidney failure and many others. In short, salt is a double-edged sword. On the one hand it is beneficial, on the other hand it is harmful. Studies reported that there is a close relationship between hypertension and dietary salt intake. A meta-analysis showed that a continuous modest reduction in salt intake induces a relevant reduction in blood pressure in hypertensive individuals as well as in those who are normotensive (having normal blood pressure 120/80 mmHg).

Never Undermine Hypertension

 Hypertension is a major independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke, heart failure and chronic kidney failure. In many regions of the world, there are a lot of people who have high blood pressure. Even in the United States, out of every three adults, one is hypertensive. If this number is expressed as a percentage, then the prevalence of hypertension in the United States is around 30%. More than just a large number, the impact of hypertension is frightening, both in terms of morbidity and mortality. According to reports, hypertension alone was responsible for 18% of cardiovascular disease mortality in western nations. The impact to the state financial losses is also enormous. The state is said to lose 47.5 billion dollars annually. Thus, it makes sense to be aware of hypertension from the beginning, and it also makes sense to start an early detection program as soon as hypertension is identified in order to lower the incidence of hypertension and its sequelae.

Prevalence of Hypertension in School and College Students

Rumah Ginjal - Abstract In Indonesia, the onset of hypertension has been observed in younger po- pulations. Previous studies showed that hypertension occurred in adoles- cence, even in childhood. This cross sectional study aimed to provide a po- pulation-based estimation of hypertension prevalence and risk factors among school and college students in Surabaya, Indonesia. Using mercu- ry sphygmomanometer blood pressure was measured in 335 participants grouped into 5 _ 9, 10 _ 14, 15 _ 19, and 20 _ 26 years of age. The preva- lence data was linked to sex, age, body mass index (BMI), and a family his- tory of diabetes and/ or cardiovascular disease.
