Hypertension, or high blood pressure in individuals under 40, is an increasingly recognized health concern. Unlike hypertension in older adults, young hypertension often goes unnoticed due to a lack of symptoms and routine screening in this age group. Contributing factors include genetics, obesity, physical inactivity, poor diet, excessive alcohol consumption, and stress. Additionally, secondary hypertension caused by underlying conditions such as kidney disease, hormonal disorders, or congenital heart defects can be more prevalent in younger populations.
