Silent killer impacts 37% of adults
A recent British study revealed that 37% of adults in England suffer from high blood pressure ("the silent killer"), with less than half of those affected (59%) aware of their condition, and most not undergoing any treatment. The study showed that the prevalence increases with age, reaching 71% among those over 80 years old, and that men have a higher rate (42%) compared to women (29%). The findings highlight the challenges in diagnosing and controlling high blood pressure, despite medical guidelines being in place for years, underscoring the need to strengthen early detection campaigns to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications and strokes.
