About this study

Official title: Lifestyle Intervention in Multinational Hispanics With Prehypertension

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of lifestyle modification in reducing blood pressure values in Hispanics at risk for hypertension.

Read the detailed description

In this study participants (who have prehypertension as defined as systolic blood pressure - the upper number- 130-139 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 85-89mmHg- the lower number-) are randomly assigned to one of two groups:

the Minimal Intervention Group- participants receive advice and printed guidelines only but no counseling or personalized instruction, or the Enhanced Intervention Group- participants receive advice and the same printed guidelines as the minimal intervention group, together with dietary and physical activity counseling provided by a dietician and/or coordinator, periodic professional reviews of their progress and personalized instructions.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To test the effect on systolic blood pressure on the Enhanced Intervention Group compared to the Minimal Intervention Group

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The test the effect on systolic and diastolic blood pressure,lipid profile, glucose level, c-reactive protein and body mass index of the Enhanced Intervention Group in comparison to the Minimal Intervention Group

    Measured: 6, 12 and 18 months
