The number of people suffering from high BP around the world will exceed over a billion within 20 years. Unhealthy modern lifestyles, involving a salt-rich diet and physical inactivity, are fuelling the rise in high BP, which could reach 1.56 billion by 2025!

Currently, a person in the Western world has a greater than 90 per cent lifetime risk of developing high BP or hypertension.
