Effect of Lifestyle Intervention Among Patients With Hypertension or High-normal Blood Pressure

Effect of Lifestyle Intervention Based on Continuous Physiological Monitoring Among Patients With Hypertension or High-normal Blood Pressure

Hypertension is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular events. Healthy lifestyle factors are widely recommended for hypertension prevention and control, and cardiorespiratory fitness is a strong and independent predictor of the progression of hypertension. Increased cardiorespiratory fitness through lifestyle modifications is associated with lower mortality in hypertensive or high-normal blood pressure individuals. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of supervised lifestyle intervention that include diet and exercise and base on intelligent application and continuous physiological monitoring on improvement of cardiopulmonary fitness, blood pressure and other health outcomes among participants with hypertension or high-normal blood pressure.
