Some key causes of hypertension include obesity, family history, diet high in salt, lack of physical activity, excessive alcohol intake, as well as underlying conditions like kidney and thyroid issues. Managing hypertension involves lifestyle changes and medication to control blood pressure levels and reduce health risks.
