Age, size of the heart, size of the blood vessels, ions in blood plasma, and blood volume are some of the factors responsible to increase blood pressure.

Athletes have higher blood pressure than a normal non athletic person.
Obesity increases blood pressure.
If heart size increases blood is not pumped in blood vessels. This decreases blood pressure.

More salt results in more water holding in blood. This increases blood volume.
