世界高血压日：这种“老年病”为啥盯上了年轻人？
中新网北京5月17日电(韦香惠) 5月17日是 世界高血压日。有数据显示：我国成年居民高血压患病率为 27.5%，也就是说我国每4名成年人中，就有1人患有高血压，患病人数高达2亿～3 亿。高血压原本被认为是“老年病”，然而近年来，越来越多的年轻人也被高血压“盯上”。为何高血压这种“老年病”会盯上年轻人？
高血压发病年轻化趋势明显
“近年来，我们科室接诊的高血压患者中，年轻人占比越来越高。”北京某三甲医院心内科医生表示，年轻高血压患者多数是因为生活不规律、饮食不健康、缺乏运动、长期精神压力大等原因导致。
“现在的年轻人生活节奏快，工作压力大，加上熬夜、饮酒、饮食不均衡等不良生活习惯，使得高血压发病年轻化趋势明显。” 医生表示，此外，遗传因素也是年轻人患高血压的重要原因之一。
生活方式干预是关键
对于高血压患者来说，除了药物治疗外，生活方式的干预也非常重要。专家建议，高血压患者应保持良好的作息时间，避免熬夜；饮食上要低盐、低脂、高纤维，多吃新鲜蔬菜水果；适当增加运动量，如散步、慢跑、游泳等；同时，保持良好的心态，减轻精神压力。
“对于年轻人来说，预防高血压的关键是养成良好的生活习惯。” 医生表示，年轻人应该注重饮食健康、适量运动、保持良好的心态，以降低患高血压的风险。
加强高血压防治宣传教育
据统计，我国高血压患病人数高达2亿～3亿，但知晓率、治疗率和控制率却较低。为此，加强高血压防治宣传教育显得尤为重要。
“我们希望通过世界高血压日的宣传，提高公众对高血压的认识，加强自我管理，提高治疗率和控制率。” 韦香惠表示，此外，医生也应加强对高血压患者的规范化管理，提高血压控制水平，以降低心脑血管事件的发生风险。
高血压是一种可防可治的疾病，只要养成良好的生活习惯，及时就医，就能有效控制和预防高血压。让我们共同努力，为健康“血压”保驾护航。

**News Content:** On World Hypertension Day: Why is this “disease of the elderly” targeting the young?
BEIJING, May 17 (Xinhua) — May 17 marks World Hypertension Day. Data shows that the prevalence of hypertension among adult residents in China is 27.5%, meaning that one in every four adults in our country suffers from hypertension, with the number of patients reaching 200 to 300 million. Hypertension was once considered a “disease of the elderly,” but in recent years, more and more young people have been affected by hypertension. Why is this “disease of the elderly” targeting the young?
**The Rising Trend of Hypertension in Young Adults**
“In recent years, the proportion of young patients with hypertension in our department has been increasing,” said a cardiologist from a top-tier hospital in Beijing. Most young hypertensive patients are caused by irregular lifestyle, unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, and long-term high psychological stress.
“Today’s young people have a fast-paced life, high work pressure, coupled with late nights, alcohol consumption, and unbalanced diet, which have led to a significant trend of hypertension among the young.” The doctor added that genetic factors are also an important reason for young people suffering from hypertension.
**Lifestyle Intervention is the Key**
For hypertensive patients, in addition to medication, lifestyle intervention is very important. Experts recommend that hypertensive patients should maintain a good sleep schedule, avoid staying up late; have a low-salt, low-fat, high-fiber diet, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits; appropriately increase physical activity, such as walking, jogging, swimming, etc.; at the same time, maintain a good mindset and reduce psychological stress.
“For young people, the key to preventing hypertension is to develop good habits,” the doctor said. Young people should pay attention to healthy eating, appropriate exercise, and maintaining a good mindset to reduce the risk of hypertension.
**Strengthening Hypertension Prevention and Education**
According to statistics, there are 200 to 300 million hypertensive patients in China, but the awareness rate, treatment rate, and control rate are low. Therefore, strengthening the education on hypertension prevention is particularly important.
“We hope that through the publicity of World Hypertension Day, we can raise public awareness of hypertension, strengthen self-management, and improve the treatment and control rates,” said Wei Xianghui. In addition, doctors should also strengthen standardized management of hypertensive patients, improve blood pressure control levels, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events.
Hypertension is a preventable and treatable disease. As long as you develop good habits, seek medical attention in a timely manner, you can effectively control and prevent hypertension. Let’s work together to ensure a healthy “blood pressure” for all.
