Key result
Modifiable lifestyle factors, age, and education accounted for 19.7% of systolic blood pressure variance in women and 12.8% in men, with BMI being the main contributory factor.

Modest lifestyle-attributable SBP variance warrants caution against overemphasizing modifiable factors alone; leaves open longitudinal confirmation in broader cohorts.
Cross-Sectional (n=8,670)
What is the relative impact of lifestyle and nutritional factors on blood pressure level in the general population?
BMI is the main contributory modifiable factor of blood pressure level after multiple adjustments in a large French cohort.
Lelong et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=8,670). Lifestyle and nutritional factors was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (SBP). Modifiable lifestyle factors, age, and education accounted for 19.7% of systolic blood pressure variance in women and 12.8% in men, with BMI being the main contributory factor.
