07 Mar 2023 --- Researchers at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University, found that hypertension caused by salt sensitivity was higher among females than among males in a new study. The researchers suggest imposing a lower threshold for hypertension in women, allowing quicker notification of changes and actions of intervention. “The realities are that women and men regulate our blood pressure differently and our blood pressures are different at baseline,” says Dr. Eric Belin de Chantemele, physiologist in the Vascular Biology Center at the Medical College of Georgia, Augusta University.
