World Hypertension Day is an initiative of the World Hypertension League. This year's theme is "Healthy weight - healthy blood pressure". According to the World Health Organization, more than one billion people worldwide are reported to be overweight and more than 300 million people are obese. Obesity is linked to hypertension, kidney diseases and other cardiovascular diseases. Through World Hypertension Day, the World Hypertension League, in partnership with national and international organizations, aims to raise the awareness of obesity and hypertension. Simple manoeuvres such as eating healthy, being physically active, and changing nutritional and dietary behaviours are recommended. |
