Key result
Essential hypertension accounts for ~95% of all cases, driven by genetic and lifestyle interactions.
Why the study?
Inadequate blood pressure control in the hypertensive population has contributed to rising rates of stroke, end-stage renal disease, and heart failure, while understanding of the genetic basis and gene-environment interactions of essential hypertension remains a work in progress.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Gene-lifestyle interactions predominate in essential hypertension; extends RCT evidence for integrated prevention strategies.

Carretero et al. (2000) conducted a review in Essential hypertension. Essential hypertension accounts for 95% of all hypertension cases (affecting ~24% of US adults) and arises from the interaction of inherited genetic factors and hypertensinogenic lifestyle factors.
