Hypertension is one of the chronic diseases that seriously endangers people's quality of life and physical health. According to the data in the "China Cardiovascular Health and Disease Report 2022" released by the Mainland Cardiovascular Disease Center, the number of adult hypertension patients in mainland China has reached 245 million, and not only that, about 1 billion people in the world suffer from hypertension, which is such a large scale!
It cannot be ignored that from the "Research on the Prevalence and Influencing Factors of Hypertension in the Middle-aged and Elderly Population in the Mainland", special attention should be paid to the physical health of the elderly group, and the probability of hypertension in people over 65 years old is much higher than that of other populations, and can even reach 44%.
In addition, for people who have already suffered from hypertension, in order to stabilize the condition and prevent it from developing more complications, it is also necessary to actively and pay attention to whether their condition is serious or not to avoid sudden danger.
How to judge whether high blood pressure is serious or not? Mainly look at the following indicators:
Indicator 1: Look at the grading of hypertension
People with high blood pressure are classified into 3 grades based on the degree of elevated blood pressure. Mild hypertension (stage 1 hypertension): systolic blood pressure 140~159 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure 90~99 mmHg, moderate hypertension (stage 2 hypertension): systolic blood pressure 160~179 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure 100~110 mmHg, severe hypertension (stage 3 hypertension): systolic blood pressure over 180 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 110 mmHg.
For patients with high blood pressure, the more dangerous their condition is, the more important it is to follow the doctor's advice and strictly control the diet, and stay away from bad lifestyle habits.
Indicator 2: Look at organ damage
The older a person, the longer the disease, and the more difficult it is to control blood pressure, the greater the probability of organ damage.
In particular, if high blood pressure is not effectively controlled for a long time, it will endanger the heart, kidneys, eyes, brain, and even cause "continuous damage" to multiple organs.
If you have heart damage, left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation, brain damage, cerebral atherosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, kidney damage, kidney failure, glomerular necrosis, etc., eye damage, retinal hemorrhage, etc., the more people who appear, the more dangerous it is, and it also means that you are in a high-risk situation.
Indicator 3: Look at diseases associated with hypertension
It does not mean that if you have high blood pressure, you will not have other diseases, if you have high blood pressure, there are also diseases related to high blood pressure, such as kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, peripheral vascular disease, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, etc.
There are also many risk factors, including a history of smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, obesity, lack of physical labor, and age over 65 years old. If you have relevant risk factors, it means that you are at greater risk of developing complications of hypertension, so you should pay attention to actively control your blood pressure and go to the hospital for examination on time.
