A 5-year risk of arterial hypertension onset was compared in dependence on hereditary anamnesis of arterial hypertension (AH) in 366 young men (18–35 years old) to estimate predictors of hypertensive disease. Presence of arterial hypertension family anamnesis in young men with normal and high normal blood pressure is associated with 4.9-fold increasing of relative 5-year risk of hypertension development. Overweight and obesity are significant factors of a 5-year risk of hypertension development independently on family anamnesis. Combination of hereditary predisposition to hypertension and a smoking habit 2.4-fold increases a 5-year risk of hypertension development.
