Background: The mainstay of treatment for hypertension is a change in lifestyle. Cross-sectional studies show that physical activity and exercise training are protective against cardiovascular disease. The goals of our study were to determine which lifestyle strategy is most useful for decreasing blood pressure in people with hypertension by comparing its efficacy with other methods.
Method: This systematic review is reported using the PRISMA treatments. We searched Embase, Cochrane, and PubMed for pertinent studies that were released between 2011 and 2020. We limited the scope of our searches to English-language publications and supplemented them with the information we had already discovered and the reference lists of reviewers. We included RCTs that contrasted the effects of lifestyle interventions on blood pressure reduction in adult hypertension patients.
Result: Six RCTs totaling 616 participants were considered in this systematic review (281 in the control groups and 335 in the intervention groups). Research was carried out in China, Australia, Sweden, USA, Canada (two studies), and China. Dietary approach, regular salt (sodium reduction), MBSR, yoga, and DASH + 12 weeks of exercise are among of the interventions that were employed.
Conclusion: Changes in lifestyle resulted in a drop in blood pressure and changes in autonomic tone, as seen by training-induced reductions in heart rate. MBSR did not significantly lower ambulatory blood pressure in patients with untreated stage 1 hypertension as compared to a wait-list control group, either statistically or clinically.
