Doctors believe that the hormonal changes that occur to women with menopause are the cause of high blood pressure.
High blood pressure is one of the most important causes of heart attacks and strokes, and doctors warn of the risk of increase in women specifically.
Studies show that men are more likely to have hypertension up to 45, but women are more likely to develop postmenopausal women, who are more likely than men to develop the disease.
Doctors warn of neglecting high blood pressure in women, especially after menopause, which can lead to senile dementia, especially in obese and high-cholesterol women, according to a report published by the German website Apotheken Umschau.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, doctors speculate that the hormonal changes that occur to women with menopause are the reason for high rates of high blood pressure.
The hormone estrogen plays an important role in the prevention of arterial disease, and female hormones help ease the dilatation of the arteries and improve blood pumping compared to men.
As women enter the fifties and sometimes before, estrogen production declines significantly, and the risk increases with other factors such as lack of mobility and weight gain.
The director of the Berlin Institute of Gender in Medicine, Prof. Dr. Vera Regitz-Zagrosek, advises women approaching the age of 50 to ensure regular blood pressure, exercise, healthy nutrition, salt reduction, and weight control.
