There are two types of risk factors for hypertension: ones you can change (modifiable) and ones you can’t change (non-modifiable).

Modifiable risk factors are things you can control:

• Unhealthy diet: Eating too much salt, fat, and cholesterol, and not enough potassium or fiber.

• Smoking: Using tobacco products can raise your blood pressure.

• Lack of exercise: Not being active or sitting too much can increase your risk.

• Stress: High levels of stress or worry can affect your blood pressure.

Non-modifiable risk factors are things you can’t change:

• Age: As you get older, your risk of high blood pressure increases.

• Gender: Men are more likely to develop hypertension earlier in life, but women’s risk increases after menopause.

• Ethnicity: People of African American descent are at higher risk.

• Genetics: If your family members have high blood pressure, you might be more likely to get it too

Diabetes is a condition in which the body doesn’t produce or properly use insulin or both. This causes sugars to build up too high in your blood.

Types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes usually occurs in children and young adults. In this the pancreas makes little or no insulin.Type 2 diabetes is the most common form in adults. It develops when the body doesn’t make enough insulin and doesn’t efficiently use the insulin it makes (insulin resistance).
