#High Blood Pressure

A University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center researcher was awarded $3.1 million from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development to further his efforts to provide new technologies to detect the risks of metabolic consequences of obesity among young children.

The event is designed to bring families and friends together to learn, share and practice lifestyle habits that will lead to healthier, longer lives free of heart disease and stroke.

The Hawai‘i Department of Health (DOH) encourages everyone to have their blood pressure checked regularly to reduce their risk for heart attack.
