Hypertension in India: Hidden Sodium and Community Support Key to ControlPreviousNext

Hypertension affects over 300 million Indians and is often undiagnosed due to its silent nature. While traditional advice focused on reducing visible salt intake, recent findings highlight hidden sodium in processed foods as a significant contributor. Community-based support and continuous care are crucial for effective management, as lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and obesity increasingly impact younger adults. Experts emphasize reaching people locally to improve treatment adherence and control rates.
