Does weight reduction lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients undergoing medications?
Does weight reduction lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients undergoing medications?
Weight reduction interventions effectively lower blood pressure in medicated hypertensive patients, supporting lifestyle modifications in hypertension management.
Weight loss may lower BP in hypertension; leaves open optimal methods and causality without RCTs.
Background: Lowering the blood pressure could decrease the risks of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality rates and showed an association between lowering the body weight and management of blood pressure levels in people with hypertension. This study aimed at reviewing the effects of weight loss on blood pressure and hypertension. Methods: 29 studies were included in this review. This systemic review showed that significant reduction in body weight either by dietary or non-dietary intervention could lower the blood pressure among hypertensive patients undergoing medications. However the extent effects are uncertain and have not been demonstrated on long term effects.
