Adults often suffer from hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. It is believed that over 10 million individuals have high blood pressure yet are unaware of it. According to Indian study, around 25% of individuals in cities and 10% in rural regions have hypertension. Hypertension is predicted to affect 66 million people in India. According to a study done by the Association of Physicians of India, the country's metropolitan regions had a much higher prevalence of hypertension (27-37% vs. 2-8% in rural areas) (Agarwal-2001). Hypertension affects around 20% of the adult population in India, making it the country's most silent killer. Almost 90% of these patients are classified as main or essential hypertension. The effect of cinnamon on blood pressure is a disputed topic since, in addition to studies that indicate cinnamon to be beneficial in lowering blood pressure, there are reports that demonstrate cinnamon to be ineffective in this context. Based on data from three randomised clinical trials, Akilen et al. reported in 2013 that administration of cinnamon (at doses ranging from 0.5 to 2.4 g/day for 12 weeks) causes to substantial decreases in SBP and DBP in persons with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. Nurses offer a significant percentage of health care and are responsible for identifying and analysing patients' health needs. They also provide follow-up treatments to help clients maintain excellent hypertension management. Before providing preventive health care, it is vital to analyse people's lifestyles and identify risk factors for hypertension. Nurses may assist in identifying and modifying risk factors for hypertension in a variety of settings.
