Abstract
According to the world health organization, the prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases has reached epidemic proportions. In today’s world there is a significant increase in the number of patients with arterial hypertension annually. The reasons for the development of this disease, in addition to adverse environmental conditions, are a number of factors related to the lifestyle of a person, as well as behavioral risk factors (bad habits) that provoke violations of the body’s functions and, as a result, the development of the disease. The most significant of them are: overweight, excessive salt consumption, smoking and alcohol abuse, and sedentary lifestyle. These factors are manageable, because as a result of corrective measures, it is possible to reduce their negative impact on the body or to eliminate it completely. In this regard, raising public awareness and actively combating manageable risk factors at the state level is crucial for arterial hypertension prevention. Key words: non-communicable diseases, arterial hypertension, arterial pressure, cardiovascular diseases, risk factors.
