New research on hypertension and lifestyle
A new JAMA Network Open (https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2846561) cohort study followed 25,820 people with hypertension and found something important: lifestyle still matters, even after diagnosis.
People with the highest healthy lifestyle score had a 51% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 79% lower risk of type 2 diabetes compared with those with the lowest score.
Even more important: improving lifestyle after diagnosis lowered risk, while letting habits decline increased it.
The big idea is simple: medication matters, but it doesn’t replace the basics. Sleep, movement, nutrition, weight management, and not smoking are not “extras.” They are part of the treatment.
Hypertension is not just a blood pressure issue. It’s a systems issue.
What do you think is the hardest lifestyle change for people to sustain long term: sleep, exercise, food, stress, or consistency?
