Study: Adolescents entering into romantic relationships expose them to high blood pressure


A study issued by the American University of Virginia revealed that adolescents who have strong emotional relationships during adolescence are more likely to develop high blood pressure in adulthood, according to a report published in the Medical Express website.


The researchers were based on a number of 13-year-old participants, and the participants were followed by researchers for more than 20 years, and when the participants' ages exceeded 30 years, the researchers began taking blood pressure measurements for them.


The researchers concluded that the adolescents’ intense romantic relationships led to high blood pressure in their youth, in addition to other factors that contributed to this, including the psychological control of the parents in the children during adolescence and the lack of true friendships in their lives, also among the factors that made them vulnerable to high pressure. the blood.


The study showed that adolescents are experiencing a state of tension and anxiety during that period, so attracting them to romantic relationships makes them drain their time and energy to an unusual degree.


The researchers explained that the stress caused by the existence of these bad relationships, in addition to the control of parents and their control over their children in various forms of violence, leads to them eventually developing high blood pressure in adolescents later in life.


The study focused on the development of adolescents and the impact of severe stress during the teenage years, which can lead to premature aging, and that healthy adolescent friendships predict healthy emotional relationships in young adulthood.
