The prevalence of hypertension is increasing worldwide due to obesity, lack of physical activity, and increased salt intake.
Since hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, proactive prevention, early diagnosis, and
management are essential. However, due to Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19), physical activity has decreased, and many people frequently eat delivered food and do not visit the hospital due to concerns about COVID-19 infection. Therefore, managing chronic diseases, including high blood pressure, has been more difficult than ever. Although the risk of hypertension in young adults is considerable, diagnosis and management of hypertension in these populations have not been achieved much attention. The present study aimed to discuss the current status of hypertension control, the risk of hypertension, and the prevention and management strategy of hypertension among young adult patients with hypertension.
