Are you at risk of hypertension? Address your risk factors - this will be your first step of intervention, even if you have been recommended medication. The next step will be to comply with all medical advice. BP is the leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. #BeatThePressure
The recent @ilo report underscores that #ClimateChange affects workers beyond just heat, causing various physical and mental health issues. Urgent action is needed to embed occupational safety and health into climate responses, ensuring safe workplaces for everyone. @azzi_manal
Noteworthy to see CAG's study on #AirQuality & #ViolentCrime in #Chennai, gaining media attention! While the connection is weak as per study, it underlines the crucial importance of clean air. Let's continue our efforts for healthier environments! #EnvironmentalHealth
Noteworthy to see CAG's study on #AirQuality & #ViolentCrime in #Chennai, gaining media attention! While the connection is weak as per study, it underlines the crucial importance of clean air. Let's continue our efforts for healthier environments! #EnvironmentalHealth
A study by CAG exploring the correlation between #AirQuality & instances of #ViolentCrime in #Chennai, has been featured by the press. While the study finds a weak correlation between the two, the aim has been to further impress on the need for maintaining healthy air quality.
A study in a tertiary care centre in Gujarat revealed a 60% incidence of uncontrolled hypertension. Age, obesity, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and smoking were identified as significant predictors. #BeatThePressure surl.li/tbprr
@ViDwarakanathan @CAGChennai Thank you for sharing Global Burden of Diseases Study. It's very important to sensitize people to take hypertension seriously. #BeatThePreesure #HypertensionAwareness
@RinkiSharma @CAGChennai Thank you for rephrasing it so nicely @RinkiSharma
@drkrvcvijay @CAGChennai Salt reduction is very important and we often ignore the reduction in our food despite knowing that it is contributing to hypertension. #BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai @drkrvcvijay A4 Treatment for high blood pressure often includes lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing stress. Medications like ACE inhibitors or diuretics may also be prescribed based on individual needs.#BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai A1 Hypertension is high blood pressure, a condition where the force of blood against artery walls is consistently too high. Normal blood pressure typically falls below 120/80 mm Hg.#BeatThePressure
@GreataSherene @CAGChennai @drkrvcvijay @RinkiSharma Thank you for spreading awareness about the silent killer! And for providing me an opportunity to talk about my side of the story!
@RinkiSharma @CAGChennai Yes ,it's very critical issue.#BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai @drkrvcvijay @ViDwarakanathan @GreataSherene Big thanks to the CAG Team and all the brilliant panelists for today's Twitter chat. It was an insightful discussion on a critical topic, and I learned a lot #BeatThePressure.
@CAGChennai @drkrvcvijay @ViDwarakanathan @RinkiSharma Thank you ! And it was great connecting with people to create awareness on this.
@CAGChennai @RinkiSharma The current situation in India benefits a lot of people, hence a lethargy and inertia at a policy level. Hence, we the people should take our health in our own hands. Who will take care of our family if we are dead, or worse, disabled due to stroke or heart attack? (2/2)

@ViDwarakanathan @CAGChennai Turn off the tap, let your conscience flow freely! #BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai India has specific government policies like the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases and Stroke (NPCDCS) that focus on managing hypertension through awareness, screening, and treatment programs #BeatThePressure 2/2
@CAGChennai @RinkiSharma Hypertension is a serious side effect of the current trend of urbanization, migration and industrialization. There is also a certain non-chalant attitude towards healthy habits, and a obesogenic environment in India which should be dealt with! (1/2)
@CAGChennai A16 Concerns for hypertensive patients in government healthcare include access to consistent medication, long wait times, and limited specialist care availability. Improving these areas is crucial for better hypertension management. #BeatThePressure
@RinkiSharma @CAGChennai Yes ,it's very critical issue.#BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai A15 Yes, India's NPCDCS focuses on managing hypertension through awareness, screening, and treatment programs .#BeatThePressure 1/2

@RinkiSharma @CAGChennai Yes and please consult a doctor and a nutritionist to work on a personalised diet plan which will help you #BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai A14 Consumer rights groups help by spreading info, advocating for better healthcare access, and encouraging healthy habits. They empower people to manage their health better. #BeatThePressure
@CAGChennai A13 We're focusing on hypertension because it's a critical health issue that affects many. Understanding and managing it can lead to better overall health outcomes for individuals and communities. #BeatThePressure
