What Causes Hypertension?
1. Genetic Factors:
Approximately 60% of hypertensive patients have a family history, often attributed to polygenic inheritance. Genetic background contributes to 30-50% of hypertension cases.
2. Psychological and Environmental Factors:
Long-term psychological tension, excitement, anxiety, exposure to noise, or adverse visual stimuli can also trigger hypertension.
3. Age Factors:
Incidence increases with age, with a higher prevalence in individuals aged 40 and above.
