Something once marginal is starting to happen to people under 30 around the world: hypertension

Hypertension is increasingly affecting people under 30, according to a new warning highlighted in a medical article.

The rise is linked to chronic stress, poor sleep, inactivity, and unhealthy diets, including energy drinks, ultra-processed foods, and excess sodium.

Experts warn that many cases remain undiagnosed, so the condition can progress unnoticed until cardiovascular risk is already higher.

The issue matters because a disease once associated with older adults is now appearing earlier in life and may have long-term health consequences.
