“Men develop high blood pressure at younger ages and at higher rates than women through most of adulthood. Among adults aged 18 to 39, roughly 31% of men already have hypertension compared to 13% of women. That gap narrows with age but persists: between 40 and 59, about 59% of men have high blood pressure versus 50% of women. By age 60 and older, the rates nearly converge, with about 75% of both men and women affected.

This means a man in his 30s is more than twice as likely to have high blood pressure as a woman the same age. Many of these men have no symptoms and no idea their numbers are elevated, which is why routine checks matter even when you feel fine.”
