Study Reveals Silent Killer Disease
A British study has revealed that more than one-third of adults in England (37%) suffer from high blood pressure. However, 59% of them are unaware of their condition and have not received any treatment. The findings indicate that hypertension, known as the "silent killer," is a significant health problem, especially as the prevalence increases with age—reaching 71% among those over 80 years old, and 42% among men compared to 29% among women. The study also showed that half of the people taking blood pressure-lowering medications do not achieve normal blood pressure levels, highlighting the difficulty in diagnosing and controlling the condition. It calls for intensified early screening campaigns to save millions from life-threatening complications such as heart disease and stroke.
