Hypertension and diabetes are all chronic diseases, and in recent years, the incidence rate of these two diseases also has a rising trend, and gradually to the younger development. Many friends will find that the people with hypertension and diabetes have obvious family clustering, and many people doubt whether the disease can be transmitted. So, can hypertension and diabetes be infectious?
1. Can Hypertension and diabetes Be Infectious
Nowadays, chronic diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and coronary heart disease are becoming more and more common. More and more couples, children and even large family members suffer from the same disease or multiple diseases. The aggregation of "three highs" (hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia), fatty liver, obesity, diabetes, gastritis, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer that occur in families is particularly severe. In fact, the occurrence of a specific chronic disease in a group, especially in a family, is not contagious, but the result of the combined effects of "genetics" and "environment". Therefore, hypertension and diabetes are not infectious.
2. Prevention of hypertension and diabetes
The micro pathogenic genes of some chronic diseases can also be spread among family members through inheritance, making it easy for a specific "chronic disease" to occur "collectively". This situation is not "contagious", but the result of a combination of "genetics" and "environment". The best way to address this situation is to establish good family habits. For example, if there are chronic diseases in the family, especially in direct relatives, it is necessary to stay away from the risk factors that lead to chronic diseases, such as not smoking, drinking less alcohol, not eating too greasy or sweet food, and strengthening physical exercise to reduce the possibility of chronic diseases and reduce the role of genetic susceptibility.
Can hypertension and diabetes be infected? Hypertensive diabetes is not an infectious disease, so it is not infectious. The obvious family clustering is mainly due to the joint influence of genetic factors and environmental factors. For friends who have hypertension and diabetes in their families, we must try to stay away from the pathogenic factors, so as to better prevent these chronic diseases.
