High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is when the force of blood against artery walls is too high. It is commonly seen in older individuals or those who eat lots of junk food, don't exercise, drink alcohol, or experience high stress levels. Some changes that occur with high blood pressure include a rise in blood pressure readings and a need to adopt a diet lower in salt and protein. The document provides an explanation of high blood pressure, noting it is often first checked in children via a blood pressure cuff and usually affects those who eat too much junk food or meals very high in salt.
Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same quantity or value.
