Who has high blood pressure?
One in five Americans - one in four adults - has high blood pressure. That means 50 million Americans aged 6 and older have high blood pressure. (Based on NHANES)

The number of both men and women with high blood pressure increases rapidly in older age groups. By age 65, more than half of all Americans have high blood pressure. How high is your risk?

What happens if high blood pressure is not controlled?
You've probably heard that high blood pressure can contribute to heart disease, stroke and kidney failure. You may understand the risk better if you can visualize what's going on inside your body.

Simply put, when your blood pressure is high, your heart has to work harder than normal, which puts both the heart and the arteries under a greater strain.
