Obesity-related hypertension

Obesity-related hypertension occurs when excess body weight, particularly abdominal fat, contributes to high blood pressure. Fat cells, especially those in the abdominal region, release hormones and inflammatory markers that increase blood vessel resistance, making it harder for blood to flow. This extra resistance forces the heart to pump harder, elevating blood pressure. Additionally, obesity can impair kidney function and increase sodium retention, further aggravating hypertension. Weight loss has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure in individuals with obesity, even modest reductions of 5-10% of body weight. Along with weight loss, lifestyle changes such as a balanced diet with reduced sodium intake, increased physical activity, and stress management can help control blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Managing hypertension alongside obesity is crucial for overall health and well-being.
