    ABSTRACT: Hypertension affects more than one billion people worldwide. Here we identify 113 novel loci, reporting a total of 2,103 independent genetic signals (P < 5 × 10−8) from the largest single-stage blood pressure (BP) genome-wide association study to date (n = 1,028,980 European individuals). These associations explain more than 60% of single nucleotide polymorphism-based BP heritability. Comparing top versus bottom deciles of polygenic risk scores (PRSs) reveals clinically meaningful differences in BP (16.9 mmHg systolic BP, 95% CI, 15.5-18.2 mmHg, P = 2.22 × 10−126) and more than a sevenfold higher odds of hypertension risk (odds ratio, 7.33; 95% CI, 5.54-9.70; P = 4.13 × 10−44) in an independent dataset.

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Diet

  • DASH diet and sodium restriction Moderate

    Dietary sodium reduction and plant-rich diet patterns lower blood pressure, particularly important for genetic BP elevation

    Limit sodium to less than 2300mg daily, emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains

Discuss with your doctor

  • cardiovascular risk assessment and blood pressure management Moderate

    Genetic predisposition to higher blood pressure requires proactive medical discussion about monitoring thresholds and treatment strategy

Exercise

  • aerobic exercise for blood pressure management Moderate

    Regular aerobic exercise reduces blood pressure and is especially important for individuals with genetic predisposition to elevated BP

    150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week

Screening

  • blood pressure monitoring Moderate

    rs11598702-C risk allele is strongly associated with higher pulse pressure and systolic blood pressure

    Check blood pressure at least annually, more frequently if elevated
