WHY?
South Asians are more likely to develop coronary heart disease and stroke than White Europeans. If you’re African or African Caribbean, you have a higher risk of developing high blood pressure and having a stroke than other ethnic groups.
It is not clear why this is the case but lifestyle choices, socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and genetic factors are likely to all play a part.
