blood volume
vascular tone (vessel size - dilated or constricted)
heart rate

you might also say things like state of mind or state of comfort (pain raise blood pressure), but it does it by affecting heart rate, etc.

diet, absence of exercise, obesity, stress, thyroidal problems, fever and all sorts of things, no I haven't forgotten smoking or brackish it is just they are always adding to the roll of causes and so on!

Psychological stress (can produce mild elevations of blood pressure
Physical stress (e.g., running)
Diet (high salt diets increase blood pressure
Genetics (may predispose you to hypertension or susceptability to factors that organize to hypertension)
Child birth (everyone's blood pressure goes up on this one!)
