Who gets hypertension?

Hypertension can affect anyone, but your risk is higher with age, and if you are overweight or obese, eat a poor diet and are not active. One in three Australians aged 30-65 years have hypertension. It is more common in men from early to middle age, whereas in women, hypertension is more likely to develop after the age of 65.
