    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

  • heart-healthy diet with sodium limitation Moderate

    Reduced sodium intake and nutrient-rich diet lower blood pressure in those with hypertension predisposition.

    Limit sodium to 2300 mg per day, emphasize vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins.

Discuss with your doctor

  • genetic hypertension risk and prevention strategy Moderate

    GWAS shows significant association with elevated blood pressure, warranting evaluation and individualized prevention plan.

Exercise

  • regular aerobic cardiovascular exercise Moderate

    Exercise reduces blood pressure and cardiovascular disease risk, particularly beneficial for those with genetic hypertension predisposition.

    Aim for 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.

Screening

  • blood pressure screening and monitoring Moderate

    Genetic variant significantly associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure, indicating increased hypertension risk.

    Check blood pressure annually, or twice yearly if readings approach or exceed normal range.
