Supports mobile health for blood pressure lowering in adults; extends evidence on additive effects with professional support.
Meta-Analysis (n=24,692)
Does mobile health focused on diet and lifestyle reduce blood pressure in adults?
Effect estimate: MD -1.8 mmHg (95% CI -3.6 to 0.0)
Mobile health interventions focused on diet and lifestyle significantly reduce blood pressure, particularly when combined with health professional intervention and in hypertensive patients.
David et al. (2022) conducted a meta-analysis in Blood pressure (n=24,692). Mobile health (mHealth) focused on diet and lifestyle vs. No intervention (NI) or active comparator (health professional intervention) was evaluated on Change in systolic blood pressure (SBP) from baseline (MD -1.8 mmHg, 95% CI -3.6 to 0.0). Mobile health interventions alone (MD -1.8 mmHg; 95% CI -3.6 to 0.0) or with professional intervention (MD -5.3 mmHg; 95% CI -7.5 to -3.1) reduced systolic blood pressure vs no intervention.
