    The document discusses risk factors for hypertension including non-modifiable factors like gender and genetics as well as modifiable factors such as BMI, smoking, alcohol use and stress. It also outlines the physiological process where stress and other factors can increase sympathetic nervous system activation, renin release, angiotensinogen activity and other steps ultimately leading to increased blood pressure and symptoms.
