Background: Mentha consumption may associated with blood pressure improvement in humans, but the recent evidence from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) showed inconsistent results. The present study provides a systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs to investigate the effect of Mentha on blood pressure.
Methods: To cover all relevant literature, a complete search was conducted across PubMed, ISI Web of Science, and SCOPUS databases before March 2024 using PRISMA guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- * A study involving 1,516 prehypertensive individuals found that over five years, the cumulative incidence of hypertension was 35.1%, with those having high uric acid (hyperuricemia) showing a higher risk (40.7%) compared to those without (34.0%).
- * The findings suggest that hyperuricemia is an independent risk factor for developing hypertension from a prehypertensive state, especially notable in males, although the association was not significant in females or older participants (

Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, Faculty of Medical Sciences, College of Medicine, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria.
Background: Emerging epidemiological data suggest that Hypertension (HTN) has become a significant public health challenge in sub-Saharan Africa. HTN in young adults is a problem lacking relevant attention because it is still erroneously considered a disease of the old. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypertension and its associated risk factors in undergraduate medical students at the University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus, Enugu State, Nigeria.
