Question

why do you think gender and ethnicity differences for hypertension exist

Answer 1

The gender and ethnicity differences for hypertension exist

The cross-sectional studies demonstrated ethnic and gender differences in ambulatory blood pressure patterns.

Because man are at greater risk for cardiovascular and renal disease than are age matched, premenopausal women.

At the similar age of men and women blood pressure is higher in men than women

The prevalence of hypertension was higher in men (34.6%) than women (30.8%) and after age 60 year females are more likely to be hypertensive than male

The cause and effects of hypertension also differ bettween both men and women, its mean the cause among men for the development of the condition are stress, alcohol intake, tobacco and so on due to which they succumb to heart strokes and other heart related issues.

Ethnicity or sometimes referred to as race may affect one's risk of developing high blood pressure in that we do see differences in levels of blood pressure and the incidence and prevalence of high blood pressure in certain ethnic group such as african-Americans. we see a higher rate of high blood pressure.

Hypertension prevalence was higher among non-Hispanic black (40.3%) than non-Hispanic white (27.8%) , non-Hispanic asian (25.5%) or hispanic (27.8%) adults.

prevalence of controlled hypertension was 48.3% and increased with age for men but not women.

whether or not that's genetics or whether it's environment and having to do with eating habits, weight, lack of exercise and other risk factors we're not entirely sure. but it does affect it.
