Yes, more young people are being diagnosed with high blood pressure today compared to previous decades. This increase is likely due to a combination of factors, including higher stress levels, sedentary lifestyles, and changes in diet. Modern diets often include more processed foods, higher in salt, sugar, and unhealthy fats, which can contribute to high blood pressure. Additionally, the fast-paced, stress-filled environment many young people navigate today also plays a significant role in raising blood pressure levels.
