Abstract:
The risk of hypertension in
smokers is 12% higher than in non-smokers.
Accordingly, the risk of hypertension in people
with overweight and obesity is 35% higher than
in people with normal weight. The identification
of smoking and overweight in the presence of
varying degrees of hypertension is necessary to
stratify the risk of cardiovascular complications
and determine the appropriate management
tactics for these patients. It should be noted that
in patients with smoking and overweight in 15-
20% of cases, cardiovascular complications are
expected to develop even at low blood pressure.
Early detection of smoking, overweight and blood
pressure is an important step in the managementof hypertension, allows you to objectively assess
the patient’s condition, start drug treatment
in a timely manner, reduce blood pressure and
prevent the development of complications
