Overview

Systematic review shows effective self-management reduces blood pressure in older adults with hypertension, suggesting its integration in routine care.

Key Points

Self-management interventions significantly lowered systolic blood pressure by -16.79 mmHg, enhancing hypertension control.
The study included five quasi-experimental studies of 379 older adults, conducted exclusively in Thailand, evaluating intervention effects.
Meta-analysis revealed a significant decrease in diastolic blood pressure of -9.34 mmHg, pointing to improved patient engagement strategies.
These results support incorporating self-management programs into primary care for better chronic hypertension management, despite some limitations.
