According to his physical examination, the man has a prehypertension condition or 1st stage of hypertension, which is the warning sign that he may have high blood pressure in the future.

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

With the blood pressure of 124/82 mmHg and a BMI of 24, he has slightly high blood pressure and on the top edge of a normal Body Mass Index (BMI). The normal reading for high blood pressure for man in that age is 120/80 mm Hg, while the normal BMI is in the range of 18.5-24.9. This condition called prehypertension.  

People with prehypertension increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and also other risk factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and diabetes. With that condition and no previous medical problem, he only needs to control his blood pressure and BMI by making a few lifestyle adjustments, such as exercise regularly, reduce the intake of salt and sodium, drink only in moderation, and a diet change. Exercise regularly and diet change can help lower blood pressure. People who overweight also increases the risk of high blood pressure.

The client is suffering from hypertension.

Further Explanation:

<u>Body Mass Index (BMI)</u> reflects the ratio of person’s weight in kilograms to the square of height in meters. A high BMI of a person indicates that the person is having high fatness.

The <u>National Institutes of Health</u> puts weight into three categories and they are:

1. Normal weight

2. Overweight

3. Obesity

Hypertension is the condition wherein blood exerts long term force against the wall of artery. Hypertension is determined by the quantity of blood the heart pumps and the resistance offered by the artery to the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood then the artery gets narrower and the blood pressure is higher.

The<u> normal blood pressure</u> of an individual should be 80/120. But if it is more than this then it may reflect that the person is having hypertension.

To reduce hypertension one should take a healthy diet which should include lots of fruits and vegetables. This can also help them in reducing high fat and calorie.
