According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), approximately 20% of the adult population in industrial countries have high blood pressure. Hypertension is said to affect about 1 in 5 of the middle-aged adult population. It has been recognised as one of the three modifiable risk factors responsible for cardiovascular disease, along with smoking and obesity.

You cannot see blood pressure. Nor can you feel it. You can only measure it, something any health-conscious person should do regularly. Regular blood pressure checks at home are particularly critical if your doctor has diagnosed hypertension in you. They can effectively help prevent disorders of the cardiovascular system.
