What the study is about

This project is focuses on reducing the risk and progression of hypertension among a population that records high incidence of hypertension and other chronic ailments such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney failure, and obesity, with similar control measures. Several clinical trials over the last five decades have emphasized the importance of supportive lifestyle modification in the control of chronic disease that include a healthy diet, physical activity, quitting tobacco use, reducing alcohol use to the minimum, self-management of the disease, and adequate sleep. Study participants will receive motivation and skill development support in additional to specific nutrition, physical fitness, and self-management counselling from certified experts. This intervention incorporates elements of the American Heart Association prescription for health, Life's Simple 7 (LS7) lifestyle modification, the Dietary Approaches to preventing Hypertension (DASH) eating plan.

After receiving these interventions, participants will be contacted at 3-months, 6-months, and 12-months for follow-up. They will complete similar surveys to be compared to determine impact on their hypertension.

This intervention is complementary to usual pharmaceutical hypertension management.
