Background of the Study
The number of people who are diagnosed with hypertension is on the rise, and studies have shown that being overweight makes the symptoms of this illness significantly worse for the patient. That is to say, the more the person's overall weight gain, the greater the likelihood that they may develop hypertension in the future Mori TA (2007). Being overweight and suffering from hypertension, also known as high blood pressure, share a fundamentally connected symbolic link with one another. It is in the best interest of people who are likely to develop high blood pressure (overweight people) to seek out ways of managing their weight, as this research work will try to bring out the effects of weight on such people who have high blood pressure. People who are likely to develop high blood pressure should seek out ways of managing their weight. The extent to which weight affects persons who already have high blood pressure is something that does not appear to have been settled here. The perspectives of a great number of authors will be investigated in the service of this work in an effort to assist in resolving the matter at hand (Adewoye 2022). In this context, "overweight" will be discussed, or more accurately, defined based on a computation that is known as the "Body mass index" (BMI). If a person's body mass index (BMI) is more than 25, then that person is considered to be overweight according to this calculation. Mancia G. (2007). On the other hand, hypertension is a condition that develops when a person's blood moves through their arteries at a faster rate than is considered normal. It is also common knowledge that there is currently no treatment available for high blood pressure. Papadakis A, Macphere J. (2008). This adult ailment (high blood pressure) is extremely dangerous since it not only increases the chance of developing other serious illnesses or problems, but it also boosts the risk of having a stroke, renal failure, heart disease, or a heart attack. The problem is made much more difficult by the presence of an excessive amount of weight or fat in the body, as this has a tendency to make the disease worse (Burt, Cutler, Higgins 2021). It is the responsibility of those with a stake in the health sector to ensure that adults are aware of the implications of being overweight by ensuring that they have access to information that is accurate, timely, and up to date addressing this health condition (Chobanian, Bakris & Black 2022). When it comes to the treatment of high blood pressure, it is the responsibility of medical staff to warn and educate individuals who are at a higher risk of developing hypertension about the risks associated with being overweight or obese. It is anticipated that this awareness will have an effect on the eating patterns of these individuals because it has been observed that one of the causes of obesity is improper eating, which is defined as an improper combination of different food groups and does not necessarily refer to the quantity of food consumed. Sacks F.M (2008). According to the available statistics, the number of individuals who were diagnosed with hypertension in the years between the years 2000 and 2008 increased by around forty percent (40%). Manson J (2009). Another set of statistics reveals that in 2005, sixty percent (60%) of people who suffered from high blood pressure also suffered from kidney failure and heart disease. Additionally, high blood pressure was discovered to be the underlying cause of the disease that ultimately resulted in the deaths of a greater proportion of the patients Manson J. (2009).
Many people are of the opinion that the recent stepped-up efforts in the direction of controlling high blood pressure are due, in part, to some of the results mentioned above, along with a great number of other factors (Adewoye 2022). As a result, a significant number of Nigerians appear to have responded favourably to the appeal to be "healthy and fit," perhaps as a result of their awareness of the financial implications of treating ailments that frequently result from high blood pressure that is further exacerbated by obesity. Consequently, the timing of this research could not have been better than it is now. In point of fact, the scenario that now exists on the ground was the impetus for doing this research in the first place.
