This is quite a funny question,

But the truth is, I hear it a lot from people these days

Some people have categorised hypertension as an "Old People Disease"

Says who??!!!

It's true that Old age is a major risk factor but that doesn't mean young people don't develop high BP

Hypertension can happen in ANYONE,

Even Little Children, a term known as "Pediatric hypertension".

But this usually occur due to underlying health conditions like heart defects and kidney disease

Can it also happen in slim people?

Of course, why not?

Yes, we know that being overweight can predispose a person to having a higher risk of developing hypertension,

But this doesn't mean it can't happen in slim persons. A slim person with a bad lifestyle can develop hypertension just like anybody else

You can check my previous post on "Five Things You Shouldn't Do..." to know some of the modifiable lifestyle that can predispose a person to developing High BP
