Cross-sectional study showed hypertension prevalence at 3.7% among young adults, indicating BMI as a key risk factor.

About 74.8% of young adults have optimal blood pressure, while 15.6% have normal levels and 3.7% have hypertension.
Mean systolic blood pressure was 110.29 mmHg, with males showing higher rates of elevated blood pressure than females.
Only body mass index showed a significant association with elevated blood pressure levels during multivariate analysis.
The study suggests early preventive strategies and interventions targeting modifiable risk factors like body mass index.

Inofomoh et al. (2025) studied this question.
