Hypertension

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to do a literature review that support a study that I will conduct in a few weeks. I will be doing a self report experiment on how a healthy diet and daily walks will sustain good blood pressure. This article matters because it provides a significant amount of evidence that will support my purpose for the research. With me being an African American, I am genetically suffering from the condition; however, I can prevent hypertension and being on medication by following a healthy lifestyle. My preliminary impression of the article was that I was amazed that it contains plenty of information of hypertension such as the definition, the causes, and the prevention of the condition.

Evaluate the article
The lead of the article provides a well-explained definition of hypertension. The lead gives a concise overview of the measurements and causes of hypertension. It contains sections such as signs and symptoms, epidemiology, treatments, and more on the topic, and it does not include unnecessary information. The tone of the report is neutral and unbiased; the authors went talked strictly about the facts of each subject. It also contains images to give a visual representation with a source. There are a ton of references on the page, and most of them are recent. On the talk page, Hypertension was listed as a good natural sciences article. In the beginning, the article has simple errors such inaccurate information, but overall other organizations and educational institutions nominated and utilized the article. There was no grammatical errors, and the most recent update is on May 6.

My overall impression on the article that it is very informative. The article contains enough amount of information about hypertension as well as statistical data for evidence. It is well-developed. I think the article should include the topic about young adults and blood pressure because the authors spoke on children and adults 30 years and older. The author should also mention information on the psychological factors that young adults experience that result in higher blood pressure. Psychological factors were rarely mentioned in the article
