Which of the following are considered risk factors for high blood pressure? a) Sedentary lifestyle b) Being overweight or obese c) Race d) Increased age e) Gender

Answer

All of these are considered risk factors for high blood pressure. Having a sedentary lifestyle is unhealthy and is an obvious cause for high blood pressure. Being overweight or obese is another obvious cause for this as well. Your race is a factor of having high blood pressure, too! Studies show that high blood pressure is common in people of African heritage, often developing at a younger age than other people of "white" heritage - no offence :)! Having increased age is another factor of having high blood pressure, and so is gender because women are more likely to have high blood pressure than men.
