Abstract

The outlook of present-day adolescents’ lifestyles is certainly the outcome of unhealthy childhood. The consequences of it are leading adolescents to hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. There are several contributing elements to the complicated and varied conditions of hypertension. Hypertension is increasing consistently in children and may persist into adulthood. Cardiovascular problems are heart-related issues such as cardiac conditions, stroke, endocarditis, irregular heartbeat, and more. Cardiovascular diseases are the main complications caused by hypertension. Weight control, lowered blood pressure, enhanced emotional wellness, and a propensity for more physical activity in maturity are all health advantages of an active lifestyle for teenagers. The possibility to stratify cardiovascular disease risk is the main justification for detecting high blood pressure in most children and adolescents in the future. The studies have shown enough evidence of anatomical and functional alterations in the cardiovascular system that signify early atherosclerosis in youth. According to clinical research, numerous variables that contribute to hypertension interact with one another, negatively impacting the cardiovascular system in people.

Due to vascular blockage, cardiovascular disorders can cause hemorrhagic or ischaemic disorders in the heart, brain, and other sections affecting vascular tissue. Basic clinical manifestations can no longer be utilized as a standard characteristic to assess individuals who have acute coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Due to arterial blockage, cardiovascular disorders can cause hemorrhagic or ischemic conditions in the heart, brain and other vascularly connected tissues. Teenagers' heavy consumption of alcohol and cigarettes, overweight or obese, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and other risk factors are the primary cause of cardiovascular disease in adults. Hypertension has a major negative impact on patients' health, which is directly tied to the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. This paper aims to emphasize the outcomes of an unhealthy adolescent lifestyle that consecutively leads to lifestyle-associated problems, especially hypertension and cardiovascular issues. The studies help give a precise output of the analysis of what preventive measures need to be taught to adolescents for a healthier and better future.
