Abstract
Background: Hypertension is a global health crisis, significantly contributing to cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and mortality. Lifestyle modifications, including dietary changes, regular physical activity, and stress management, are crucial in managing hypertension effectively.
Objective: This study evaluates the impact of lifestyle interventions on blood pressure control among hypertensive individuals in a population-based setting.
Methods: A prospective cohort study enrolled participants diagnosed with hypertension. Tailored interventions, including dietary counseling, exercise promotion, and stress reduction, were delivered over six months. Outcomes were assessed through periodic blood pressure monitoring and behavioral changes.
Results: Significant reductions were observed in systolic (mean reduction: 12.6 mmHg, p<0.001) and diastolic (mean reduction: 8.4 mmHg, p<0.001) blood pressure levels. Participants exhibited improved weight management, waist circumference reduction, and adherence to DASH dietary patterns (p<0.001). Stress management practices and exercise engagement increased by 40% (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Lifestyle modifications effectively lower blood pressure and improve cardiovascular health outcomes, emphasizing their role in hypertension management programs.
