[17-06-30] What causes high blood pressure

    The causes of hypertension are multifactorial, meaning there are several factors whose combined effects produce hypertension.

    High salt intake or salt sensitivity: This occurs in certain populations such as the elderly, African Americans, people who are obese, or people with kidney (renal) problems.

    Genetic predisposition to high blood pressure: People who have one or two parents with hypertension have high blood pressure incidence about twice as high as the general population.
