One in every three adults may suffer from hypertension. The "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2023" shows that the prevalence of hypertension in adults has reached 31.6%, and the number of patients is about 245 million.
As the "king of slow diseases", hypertension is not an independent disease, usually easy to cause cerebral hemorrhage, myocardial infarction, kidney failure and other chronic diseases, and hypertension is not an inherent cognitive "geriatric disease". From the past screening data, the upward trend of hypertension in young people is more steep. From 1991 to 2015, the prevalence of hypertension in people aged 20-39 increased by 144.4%, while that in people aged 60-79 increased by 25.1%.
But hypertension is not a monster. If active and effective prevention and control are taken, the probability of complications will be greatly reduced. Many diseases are treated by doctors, and the treatment of hypertension is different, requiring patients to actively participate as "the first responsible person for their own health". Among them, it is particularly important for patients to pay attention to their blood pressure regularly, which requires blood pressure testing products to be more effective and have stronger accessibility.
