Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a leading global health concern, affecting over 1.28 billion adults and contributing significantly to cardiovascular disease, stroke, and kidney failure. While the primary drivers of hypertension include diet, lifestyle, and genetics, recent research suggests that environmental factors, particularly those associated with climate change, may also play a role in its prevalence and treatment. As global temperatures rise, so do the challenges for managing hypertension. This article explores how climate change influences hypertension trends and offers insights into potential solutions to mitigate its effects.
