And the reason for high blood pressure is mostly obesity.

In fat people maybe. I know plenty of people that are thin and have high blood pressure. Losing weight will not help them.

The average us woman is 164 lbs and 5’4” tall. So the average us woman is overweight, ergo high blood pressure, among other things...

Everyone can reduce their blood pressure by losing fat weight.

Every 2.2 pounds lost will reduce systolic by one mm Hg (one point). 20 pounds of fat loss gets you a permanent reduction of 9 mm Hg. Diastolic comes down, too, perhaps around 7 mm Hg.

This should work for everyone.
