    High BP can start at any age, there are a lot factors that can contribute to it including genetic and environmental causes. Generally, if they affect a young person, there is usually an underlying acquired disease or genetic disease while in old people, it's idiopathic or primary, that is no underlying cause and so it's attributed to aging or unhealthy lifestyle.

    Blood pressure increases with age. And Risk of high blood pressure begins to climb when people hit age 45, although it can occur in younger people.
