What is the association between menopause and HBP?

In Menopause and High Blood Pressure: What’s the Connection? Is There A Connection Between Menopause and High Blood Pressure? the (United States) Mayo Clinic explain:

Silent Killer

Why is high blood pressure often called the “silent killer”?

In How To Manage High Blood High Pressure: Fighting Back Against the “Silent Killer” the American Heart Association (AHA) explain:

“High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is often called a “silent killer” because it usually has no symptoms. It can affect all age groups: children, young adults, adults and older adults. High blood pressure quietly damages blood vessels and leads to serious health problems”.
