Abstract In adults, arterial hypertension increases the overall mortality by 2–5 times, cardiovascular disease by 2–3 times. The main difference between older patients with arterial hypertension compared with those with middle-aged patients with arterial hypertension is the presence of concomitant diseases. In 1950, children in Europe accounted for 26.2% of the population, by 2005, children increased by 15.9%, and adults over the age of 60 increased from 12.1 to 20.6%. The risk profile of total mortality at different ages has been varied. The risk of death in young men is mainly associated with arterial hypertension (AG) and smoking. It is also important to note that one of the main conditions for timely diagnosis and successful treatment is the patient's attitude to the disease. Improved quality of health services leads to longevity, especially in economically developed countries. It should be noted here that there is a clear association between age and the incidence of hypertension. Diastolic AG is diagnosed in the 60-year-olds, while the 80-year-old has an increased systolic hypertension. Risk factors for hypertension In a study of 6762 patients with arterial hypertension, dyslipidemia was 73.6%, 50.8% for old age, and 31.7% for abdominal obesity. Risk factors lead to disease progression and complications. The main risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases (80%) is the use of non-healthy and inadequate dietary intake, physical activity, dietary intake. As a result of poor nutrition and poor mobility, blood pressure, glucose and fat levels in the blood increase, and overweight and obesity develop. One factor that cannot be changed is the age. Arterial hypertension is more common in older people than in middle age [1]. Top Keywords Globalization, Urbanization, Hypertension, Dyslipidemia. Top |
