ABOUT KNOW YOUR NUMBERS WEEK

Know Your Numbers Week, the United Kingdom's largest blood pressure testing and awareness campaign encourages people to monitor their blood pressure and understand their cardiovascular health. Initiated by Blood Pressure UK in 2001, the campaign has grown into a vital public health initiative, engaging thousands annually.

Know Your Numbers Week underscores the importance of regular blood pressure checks each September. High blood pressure, often termed the "silent killer," can lead to severe health issues like heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure if left unchecked. The campaign focuses on educating the public about the crucial numbers that reflect their blood pressure levels, promoting awareness and prevention.

Key numbers that individuals should know include systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. A healthy reading is typically around 120/80 mmHg. Readings consistently above 140/90 mmHg may indicate hypertension, warranting further medical consultation.

Blood Pressure UK, in partnership with pharmacies, workplaces, and community centers, provides a unique opportunity for individuals to check their blood pressure for free. These 'Pressure Stations' offer a convenient way to learn your numbers, receive advice on maintaining healthy blood pressure, and understand the risks associated with hypertension.

Understanding your blood pressure is not just about numbers; it's about taking control of your health. It enables proactive health management, potentially preventing serious conditions. Regular monitoring and lifestyle adjustments, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and reduced salt intake, can significantly lower the risk of hypertension.

Know Your Numbers Week remains an essential campaign in the UK. It aims to reduce the prevalence of high blood pressure and promote a healthier, more informed populace.
