Abstract:Hypertension
is a prevalent non-communicable disease and a major risk factor for
cardiovascular events globally. Urban females, particularly in developing
nations, face an increasing burden of hypertension due to rapid urbanization,
lifestyle changes, and socioeconomic stressors. This review focuses on the
effectiveness of hypertension risk factor management and intervention
strategies specifically targeting urban female populations. Evidence suggests
that gender-specific approaches, including lifestyle modifications, education
campaigns, early screening, and community-based interventions, significantly
contribute to improved awareness, prevention, and control of hypertension among
women. However, challenges such as limited access to healthcare, social determinants,
and gender-specific barriers must be addressed for sustained impact.
