Uncontrollable High Blood Pressure Risk Factors

There are many different risk factors when it comes to high blood pressure and these include three factors in particular which are outside of your control. The first factor is age, with the risk of high blood pressure increasing once you enter middle age. The second factor is your race. Black individuals, both men and women, are at greater risk from high blood pressure and are also likely to develop the condition at an earlier age. It is also a fact that black individuals are more likely to suffer serious complications such as a stroke or heart attack. The third factor is your family history, with clear evidence that high blood pressure runs in families.
