European hypertension health warnings
Overview
Medical experts in Poland and Germany are issuing warnings regarding the risks of hypertension, noting its role as a primary driver for heart attacks and strokes.
In Poland, experts highlight that hypertension affects approximately 11.5 million adults and is a leading cause of death for those over 45. Professor Łukasz Małek recommends increasing physical activity, suggesting 150 to 300 minutes of moderate intensity movement per week to combat these risks.
In Germany, the Robert Koch Institute estimates that 20 to 30 million people are affected by high blood pressure. Experts emphasize that the condition is often asymptomatic in early stages. Dr. Matthias Riedl notes that while hypertension is often a chronic development fueled by poor diet, it can be reversible. Recommended interventions include reducing salt intake, managing weight, reducing stress, and regular exercise.
