Key result
Lifestyle interventions in adults with BMI <35 kg/m2 yielded weight changes of -11 to +4 kg and systolic BP changes of -13 to +6.1 mm Hg, with a 1 kg:1 mm Hg relationship seen only at 2-3 years.

Lifestyle weight loss yields only transient BP gains in BMI<35 adults; challenges sustained efficacy assumptions and extends durability evidence.
Systematic Review
Do lifestyle interventions for weight loss improve blood pressure in adults with BMI <35 kg/m2?
Long-term lifestyle interventions for weight loss in non-severely obese adults show limited sustained benefits on blood pressure, with systolic improvements diminishing after 2-3 years.
Aucott et al. (2009) conducted a systematic review in Weight loss and blood pressure. Lifestyle interventions was evaluated on Weight change and blood pressure difference. Lifestyle interventions in adults with BMI <35 kg/m2 yielded weight changes of -11 to +4 kg and systolic BP changes of -13 to +6.1 mm Hg, with a 1 kg:1 mm Hg relationship seen only at 2-3 years.
