Interesting article about blood pressure changes during a lifetime.

"Women at adulthood had lower BP than men. This increased at midlife, triggered most likely by menopausal related effects on salt sensitivity. So men and women had similar BP averages in later life".

"33% of the adult population in the U.K. and U.S. suffers from increased BP."
