Key result
A high healthy lifestyle index was significantly associated with lower odds of hypertension compared to a low healthy lifestyle index (OR 0.28).
Why the study?
To investigate the association between a healthy lifestyle index and hypertension among community adults living in Sri Lanka.
Does a higher healthy lifestyle index reduce the prevalence of hypertension in community adults?
Population
456 adults aged 27-65 years in a semi-urban community in Colombo, Sri Lanka
Comparison
Middle (3) and high (4-5) HLI vs low HLI (0-2)
Design
Cross-sectional study using baseline trial data

Supports incorporating lifestyle indices into community hypertension risk assessment; cross-sectional design leaves causality and preventive effects open for prospective trials.
Cross-Sectional (n=456)
Does a higher healthy lifestyle index reduce the prevalence of hypertension in community adults?
Odds Ratio: 0.28 (95% CI 0.15–0.54)
p-value: p=<0.001
Greater adherence to a healthy lifestyle index is significantly associated with a lower prevalence of hypertension among community adults in Sri Lanka.
Fukunaga et al. (2020) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=456). High healthy lifestyle index (score 4-5) vs. Low healthy lifestyle index (score 0-2) was evaluated on Hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥140 mmHg, diastolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, or use of antihypertensive medication) (OR 0.28, 95% CI 0.15-0.54, p=<0.001). A high healthy lifestyle index was significantly associated with lower odds of hypertension compared to a low healthy lifestyle index (OR 0.28).
