Race
This is also a factor that can affect susceptibility to high blood pressure. High blood pressure is more common among people of the African race; although age is a natural factor in high blood pressure, people of African heritage can develop high blood pressure at a younger age than people of other races. It has also been noticed that heart-related diseases are more common in people of African origin. If you are of African descent, try to watch yourself and your lifestyle more, avoid anything that can cause high blood pressure and carry out regular blood pressure checks.[7]
