The current uniform approach to the diagnosis and management of hypertension in both sexes neglects the distinctions in hypertension, while the differences underscore the need for sex-specific recommendations, particularly for younger individuals. A major limitation hampering insights into sex differences in BP-related outcomes is the lack of sex-stratified analyses or an adequate representation of women. Additional large-scale, longitudinal studies are imperative.
