American adults have high blood pressure (Lehman et al., 2009). Systolic hypertension is especially prevalent among the elderly (Dusek et al., 2008). Both its prevalence and the negative health outcomes
caused by hypertension have led to thousands of research studies about this condition. It is important to know what causes hypertension and how it can best be managed. Better management

Suthahar and Ramli (2011) comment that the rise in obesity may be one factor that is leading to more people having high blood pressure. Lehman et al. (2009) conducted a
study that revealed children from low socio-economic families are more likely to have high blood pressure as adults than are children raised in more stable families. Ariff, Suthahar and Ramli
(2011) suggest that increased longevity increases the proportion of the population who have high blood pressure. Another early predictor of future high blood pressure is being raised in a
family where there is little or not support for children (Lehman et al., 2009). Harsh family environments place children at an especially high risk of hypertension. Chaotic and/or harsh parenting
has been linked to risk for hyperreactive responses to stressors (Lehman et al., 2009). Parent education and training might mitigate some of these factors. Lifestyle is directly related to
hypertension and risk of coronary disease (Ariff, Suthahar & Ramli, 2011). Alcohol consumptions, high sodium intake, high potassium intake, obesity and a lack of physical activity are all directly
linked with hypertension and subsequent cardiovascular diseases (Ariff, Suthahar & Ramli, 2011). Other factors that affect the patients management of high blood pressure include their own personality and their ability
