A female air traffic controller who works very long hours is aged 45 and has had blood pressure readings of 145/97 during the six-month period she has worked at the airport. She has a body mass index (BMI) of 29. BMI is a measure of a person's weight in relation to height. Due to her long hours, she has neglected her diet and has little time to exercise. Explain whether the blood pressure reading is normal and what condition this woman likely has, using appropriate terminology. Explain three possible factors that may lead to a blood pressure reading of 145/97.
