EFFFICACY OF AN INTERVENTION PACKAGE IN REDUCING HYPERTENSION IN AN URBAN SET UP OF VARANASI
Madhu Priya, C. P. Mishra
Abstract :
The root causes of non–communicable diseases can be addressed by promoting healthy lifestyle and dietary modifications and such approaches may be beneficial for subjects having hypertension. This community based study was carried out on hypertensive subjects in an urban set up of Varanasi to assess the efficacy of an intervention package in reducing hypertension. Average baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressure (mm of Hg) of subjects in intervention (N=81) and non–intervention (N=81) groupswas similar. Mean systolic blood pressure of subjects in intervention group at the time of baseline and final assessments were 155.49 ± 17.13 and 147.31±12.98, respectively (p<0.01). In comparison to baseline assessment (91.06±8.40), there has been significant (p<0.01) decline in the diastolic blood pressure of subjects in the intervention group during final post intervention assessment (88.12±7.19) The intervention package was efficacious in lowering average systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
