- **Event Description**: *HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE; WHAT IT REALLY MEANS TO US IN AFRICA...*

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a critical, often "silent" health crisis in Africa, acting as a leading cause of cardiovascular death (1.6 million annually) and affecting a large percentage of the population. It is characterized by high, often undetected blood pressure that causes strokes, heart attacks, and kidney failure, frequently occurring in people 15 years younger than in other global populations. 
(National Institutes of Health) 


*Key implications for Africans include:*
**A "Silent Killer*": Hypertension rarely shows symptoms until it has already caused severe damage to the heart, brain, or kidneys.

**High Prevalence &amp; Lack of Awareness*: Africa has one of the highest rates of hypertension globally, with Ghana, Nigeria, and Seychelles having high prevalence rates. At least one-third of individuals are unaware of their status.

**Urbanization and Lifestyle*: The rise is largely linked to urbanization, sedentary lifestyles, and increased consumption of processed foods.

**High Economic and Health Burden*: It causes over 1 million cardiovascular deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa annually. It is also the sixth leading cause of disability in the region.

**Genetic and Dietary Factors*: People of African descent are more susceptible, and high-salt diets are a major factor.

**Treatment Gap*: Only 10% to 20% of people with hypertension in Africa are under regular, effective care. 
(World Health Organization,WHO)

*What Can Be Done?*
**Regular Screening*_Because it is asymptomatic, regular blood pressure checks are essential.

**Lifestyle Changes*: Reducing salt intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, quitting smoking, and increasing physical activity are crucial.

**Medication Adherence*: Consistent use of medication, when prescribed, is necessary to prevent complications.
