How does ones weight effect their blood pressure?

I know that for most people if they are pluss sized they genuinely have higher blood pressure. So with that said, why are there people of all types with higher blood pressure?

 

Genetic? Environmental? Not enough nutrition?

    Ciao, bella domanda, io ho la minima alta, non sono di taglia forte. Penso che sia genetica.

    Your lifestyle also play a big factor in blood pressure. If someone in your family has blood pressure you are considered high risk. What you eat and whether you exercise or not also count too.

    Comparatively a more heavy set body would have to work harder and put more strain on the body

    Being overweight is just one risk factor, and there are many other things that can contribute to hypertension, including heredity.

    Lifestyle definitely but with some it can just be genetic.

    High blood pressure is like a sneaky villain, it can affect anyone regardless of size or shape, and it's often a mix of genetics, lifestyle, and environment. But the good news is that managing it is within our control, with healthy habits and regular check-ups!

    If you're overweight your body, the blood can't float through your body properly so it makes an issue for the blood pressure

    It is affected because the body has to work harder to pump the blood through out the body cause the pressure to go up so being overweight can cause high blood pressure.
