Based on the results of personal research authors looked to see which risk factors can be influenced in hypertension determinism. It is known that the genetic factor is present in 20-40% of patients. But this genetic factor does not validate unless, other factors interfere to allow the occurrence of hypertension. The factors which can be influenced significantly are those related to the individual's lifestyle. The lifestyle can accelerate the occurrence of hypertension or on the contrary stop the development of hypertension. Factors that can be influenced are: consumption of salt, consumption of fatty foods, alcohol, smoking and sedentary behavior. To influence the real prevalence of hypertension prevention measures should start in childhood. People should act on the principle "it is easier to prevent than to treat". At the same time this principle is beneficial both economically and individually. Unfortunately, most studies use persons in older age, so the comorbidities are more frequent and the cardiovascular complications occurred already. In future will be diagnosed young people at risk of developing hypertension and monitored to lead a normal life.
