Key result
Implementing daily deep breathing exercises in the workplace offers a pragmatic, low-cost approach to potentially reduce blood pressure and stress among adults.
Why the study?
Hypertension is a major contributor to cardiovascular disease, and deep breathing exercise is a promising, simple intervention that could be pragmatically implemented in the workplace to reduce blood pressure and stress.
Population
Adults in the workplace, particularly in the US where at least 50% have high blood pressure
