A Canadian Study showed that adolescent boys are at higher risk for high blood pressure than girls of the same age. The doctors said that the seeds of hypertension and its health effects can start well before adulthood. There are several factors which are responsible for triggering high blood pressure in teens such as smoking, stress, obesity and lack of exercise, which may result in heart damages.
The doctors conducting the study, found that the risk for elevated systolic blood pressure remained stable among teen girls, but the risk for boys rose over time.
So all ya boys and girls, stay away from smoking, drinking and stress. There are definitely some other better things to do at your age.
