A recent study showed that effective control of a number of main risk factors associated with high blood pressure may contribute significantly to reducing the risk of premature death.
The study was conducted by researchers from the University of Toulin in the United States of America and the University of Central South in China and published in the “Precision Clinical Medicine” magazine, and was written by the Yurik Alert website.
This study concluded that patients with pressure have a lower risk of death by cancer or heart disease whenever they can control more health factors that may make their condition worse, and most importantly, patients who managed to control well on these health problems associated with high blood pressure are not more vulnerable to premature death compared to people who do not suffer from this disease.
High blood pressure poses a great health, as it affects more than a third of adults around the world, which is one of the main causes of early death caused by cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.
Although effective treatments are available to reduce blood pressure, many patients still face high health risks due to the mismanagement of several exacerbations of the condition such as obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and lack of physical activity, and although previous studies have focused on the impact of these factors, there is a lack of research that taught the cumulative effect of controlling these factors at the same time.
8 good health factors
The study team in this research analyzed the data of approximately 71 thousand participants with high blood pressure, and the researchers have identified 8 adjustable factors, including blood pressure, body mass index, waist ocean, harmful cholesterol, cumulative sugar level, and the presence of albumin (albumin protein) in the urine, smoking state, and physical activity, then they divided the participants into groups based on the number of factors that were controlled in a way good.
The results showed that the participants followed up for a period of approximately 14 years, on average, that the participants who seized the largest number of these factors were less likely to die.
The control of all eight factors led to a reduction in the risk of death from all causes by 40%, cancer -related deaths by 39%, cardiovascular disease by 53%, and other deaths by 29%, and it was noted that people with high blood pressure who controlled at least 4 factors were not more vulnerable to early death compared to non -patients with the disease.
These results support the shift towards multiple -sided therapeutic strategies for high blood pressure, as medical guidelines and health policies should encourage integrated care that focus not only on blood pressure, but also on weight, blood sugar, cholesterol, kidney function, quitting smoking, and exercise.
Public health efforts should also focus on educating patients and providing them with the resources necessary to achieve these goals, however; More studies are needed to determine the best ways to apply these strategies in various health systems and population groups.
