NEW DELHI, May 6, 2023 (TBINN) Researchers have found talking on a mobile phone for 30 minutes or longer per week is to be linked with a 12 per cent increased risk of developing high blood pressure or hypertension.
Almost three-quarters of the global population, aged 10 and over, own a mobile phone. Mobile phones emit low levels of radio-frequency energy, which has been linked with rises in blood pressure after short-term exposure, the study said.
Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attack and stroke and a leading cause of premature death globally.
