Office of the Director - April 3, 2006

"This study underscores the value of lifestyle changes-namely improving diet and increasing physical activity-in reducing high blood pressure, an important public health problem," said NHLBI Director Elizabeth G. Nabel, M.D. "For the millions of Americans with prehypertension and hypertension, this shows that individuals can make healthy lifestyle changes to keep blood pressure under control without the use of medications."
