Prevalence of hypertension in diabetic patients in Pakistan

Abstract

This study highlights the prevalence of diabetes and hypertension as well as the risk factors that are linked to them. Those with diabetes are as much as four times greater likely than non-diabetics to experience hypertension. In diabetics, hypertension is substantially correlated with both obesity and dyslipidemia. Because it rarely causes symptoms, hypertension is referred to as the "silent killer" and is a serious health risk. Stress, excessive sodium intake, alcohol consumption, and physiological variables are among the factors contributing to hypertension in diabetics; genetic susceptibility, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles are all significant factors. These elements have contributed to a rise in the prevalence of hypertension in Pakistani society. Severe consequences such as congestive heart failure, renal failure, strokes, and cardiovascular disorders might result from the condition. Genetic predisposition, obesity, sedentary lifestyles, stress, high in sodium consumption, drinking alcohol, and physical characteristics are some of the factors that cause hypertension in diabetics. In Pakistani society, the incidence of hypertension has increased as a result of several factors. The condition may have severe effects, including strokes, cardiovascular illnesses, congestive heart failure, and renal failure.
