High blood pressure, often termed a silent killer, poses significant risks for women, particularly from age 30. New research from Cedars-Sinai Academic Medical Center highlights that women may develop hypertension earlier than men and experience faster deterioration of blood vessel health. While only 13–16% of women under 35 are affected, this figure rises dramatically to 50% after menopause and up to 85% by age 75. Alarmingly, many young women are not regularly tested for hypertension, often due to a lack of consultation with family doctors. Additionally, during pregnancy, only 60% of women with high blood pressure receive the necessary treatment, which is crucial for both maternal and fetal health. Experts recommend lifestyle modifications, including increased physical activity, reduced salt intake, and a Mediterranean diet, to manage blood pressure effectively. The call for more research focused on women is growing, as understanding their unique health needs is essential for developing tailored medical approaches.
