Universal medical view is that, hypertension are multiple genes Genetic and disease , that is, the family have high blood pressure history of a higher risk of suffering from high blood pressure, but the United States the latest a study found that if the adoption of a healthy life habits, can reduce the risk of suffering from high blood pressure.

In order to understand the lifestyle and multi-gene genetic relationship between high blood pressure, the United States, North Carolina, researchers at the University of a "healthy heart household survey" provided by the study data were analyzed. The study of hypertension in high-risk population of the United States, one of the Indians for the survey, a total of more than 3,600 American Indians took part in the survey, they the age of 14 to 93 years old.

researchers in the 6 monthly "Circulation: Cardiovascular Genetics" magazine online reported that the study found that different lifestyles can reduce or increase the hazard of hypertension genes, especially drinking, smoking three types of tobacco habits and exercise the most obvious.

researchers explained that high blood pressure genes of tobacco and alcohol on the impact of people is greater than non-smokers and non-drinkers; Similarly, family history of hypertension people who seldom exercise than regular exercise are more susceptible to hypertension.

researchers therefore believed that hypertension is not only caused by genes, it is also closely related to lifestyle.
