Hypertension Risk
What is Hypertension Risk?
Hypertension Risk refers to the likelihood of developing high blood pressure (hypertension), a condition where the force of blood against the walls of the arteries is too high. Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, kidney damage, and stroke. The risk is influenced by factors such as age, genetics, lifestyle, obesity, diet, and other health conditions.

What does it mean to have high Hypertension Risk?
A high Hypertension Risk suggests a greater risk of developing high blood pressure or hypertension, which can cause serious complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney damage, vision loss, cognitive decline, and other organ damage if left uncontrolled.
What does it mean to have low Hypertension Risk?
A low Hypertension Risk suggests a lower risk of developing hypertension. Maintaining healthy habits and monitoring your blood pressure regularly can help further minimize your risk of developing hypertension and its associated complications.
How does Vitals™ SDK measure it?
Hypertension Risk is assessed through blood pressure measurements, along with evaluations of risk factors such as height, weight, age, BMI, diet, smoking status, medical history, and lifestyle.
