According to Tencent's report. Com:165438+1October 13, the release conference of clinical practice guidelines for hypertension in China was held online. At the press conference, relevant medical experts shared the main points of the guidelines released this time, including lowering the diagnostic standard of adult hypertension in China from ≥ 140/90mmHg to ≥ 130/80mmHg, and new ideas and viewpoints such as promoting the defense line of hypertension, strengthening blood pressure reduction, simplifying cardiovascular risk stratification, and attaching importance to secondary hypertension screening.
Little friends all know that hypertension means that when blood flows in blood vessels, the pressure caused by blood pressure on the blood vessel wall is higher than normal. In fact, hypertension is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases in daily life, an invisible killer of human body, and a major risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complications such as stroke, coronary heart disease and heart failure. According to the new guidelines, without taking antihypertensive drugs, if the blood pressure values measured on three different days are higher than normal, that is, systolic blood pressure ≥ 130mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥80mmHg, it can be diagnosed as hypertension; At the same time, the new guidelines classify patients with hypertension as 1 grade and grade 2, where 1 grade means that the systolic blood pressure is130-139mmhg and/or the diastolic blood pressure is 80-89mmhg; Grade 2 refers to systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140mmhg and/or diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90mmhg.
In real life, hypertension is very common. According to the diagnostic criteria of previous guidelines, there are about 300 million hypertensive patients in China, and according to the diagnostic criteria of this guideline, it is estimated that the number of hypertensive patients in China will increase greatly.
My friends and I also agree that hypertension is an senile disease, which is far from young people. In fact, at present, patients with hypertension are getting younger and younger, and the ratio of young people to patients with hypertension is getting higher and higher. According to the statistics of relevant medical literature, the proportion of young and middle-aged hypertensive patients (18-64 years old) in China has exceeded 3/4 in 20 10.
More and more young people suffer from high blood pressure. In addition to the main reasons, it is also related to the following factors:
One is to eat foods high in salt and fat. At present, with the accelerated pace of life, many young people seldom cook by themselves and often order food online to satisfy their hunger. However, fast food is usually high in salt and fat. If you eat high-salt and high-fat food for a long time, it may cause sodium and water retention, and it will lead to a continuous increase in physical stress, which in turn will induce hypertension.
? Second, the mental stress is too great. Young people are under great mental pressure because of their life and work, which is very easy to lead to unstable blood pressure. If they live in a stressful environment for a long time, their blood pressure may keep fluctuating and rising, which may lead to hypertension.
? Third, long-term work and rest are irregular. Generally speaking, many young people have irregular schedules and the habit of staying up late, thinking that studying and working in the dead of night will get twice the result with half the effort. In fact, staying up late often will raise blood pressure, and staying up late for a long time will easily lead to coronary artery and peripheral vascular spasm, which will lead to myocardial ischemia, elevated blood pressure, or unstable blood pressure control.
These are the main reasons why more and more young people will have high blood pressure. In addition, there are related incentives such as obesity and long-term smoking.
In my opinion, young people suffering from high blood pressure is actually an early warning signal sent by the body to themselves. Seek medical attention in time, find out the cause of hypertension and treat it in time. If you are diagnosed with hypertension by medical treatment, you should take antihypertensive drugs regularly according to your doctor's advice. If you don't take medicine continuously, the antihypertensive effect will rebound, and other organs will be involved, which will accelerate the formation of plaques and thus aggravate the symptoms of hypertension; At the same time, we should also improve our living habits, find out the reasons from the source and actively abandon bad living habits:
First of all, the diet should be low in salt and fat. According to medical guidelines, the total amount of salt eaten by healthy people should not exceed 6 grams per day, and the daily intake of patients with hypertension should be below 5 grams; At the same time, high fat intake will damage the blood vessel wall and increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In daily life, young people should eat less fast food, and the diet should be low in salt and fat, thus reducing the risk of hypertension.
? The second is to relieve mental stress. As the saying goes, the biggest enemy in life is yourself. Young people should relieve the pressure in their work and life in time, abandon their sub-healthy living conditions, and conduct psychological counseling and venting in time. With the relief of mental stress, blood pressure will gradually decrease and return to stability, thus reducing the risk of blood pressure increase.
The third is the law of work and rest. Regular work and rest can effectively improve the symptoms of hypertension, help to better control blood pressure, and also reduce blood pressure to a certain extent; At the same time, young people should develop exercise habits, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc., and carry out effective auxiliary methods to lower blood pressure.
In my opinion, young people can't ignore high blood pressure and should find it early and treat it early; At the same time, we should actively improve the existing lifestyle and abandon the sub-health lifestyle, so as to avoid, improve and effectively reduce the harm caused by hypertension.
