High blood pressure in 30s is 'silent killer', study finds
The Independent
|November 09, 2025
New research suggests that even slightly high blood pressure in your 30s may raise the risk of a heart attack or stroke later in life.
The MyoFit46 study by University College London (UCL) of more than 450 Britons found that higher blood pressure from the 30s through later decades was linked to reduced blood flow to the heart by age 77.
Funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and published in Circulation: Cardiovascular Imaging, the research found that even “normal but high” or rapidly rising blood pressure could quietly damage the heart over time.
Risk patterns were seen as early as age 36, even when participants did not meet the criteria for a high blood pressure diagnosis, the report said.
