“…It should be noted that previous studies have demonstrated that increasing physical activity and low sodium diet, as well as taking antihypertensive medication, each contributed to reducing blood pressure. [23][24][25] Overall, the percentage of uncontrolled hypertension among adults who were taking prescribed medication for hypertension decreased by ≤8% in the 10-year period. This decline was most prominent, in women, adults aged ≥40 years, non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and obese adults.…”

Abstract-The aim of this study is to describe trends in the awareness, treatment, and control of hypertension; mean blood pressure; and the classification of blood pressure among US adults 2003 to 2012. Using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2003 to 2012, a total of 9255 adult participants aged ≥18 years were identified as having hypertension, defined as measured blood pressure ≥140/90 mm Hg or taking prescription medication for hypertension. Awareness and treatment among hypertensive adults were ascertained via an interviewer administered questionnaire. Controlled hypertension among hypertensive adults was defined as systolic blood pressure <140 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg. Blood pressure was categorized as optimal blood pressure, prehypertension, and stage I and stage II hypertension. Between 2003 and 2012, the percentage of adults with controlled hypertension increased (P-trend <0.01).Hypertensive adults with optimal blood pressure and with prehypertension increased from 13% to 19% and 27% to 33%, respectively (P-trend <0.01 for both groups). Among hypertensive adults who were taking antihypertensive medication, uncontrolled hypertension decreased from 38% to 30% (P-trend <0.01). Similarly, a decrease in mean systolic blood pressure was observed (P-trend <0.01); however, mean diastolic blood pressure remained unchanged. The trend in the control of blood pressure has improved among hypertensive adults resulting in a higher percentage with blood pressure at the optimal or prehypertension level and a lower percentage in stage I and stage II hypertension. Overall, mean systolic blood pressure decreased as did the prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension among the treated hypertensive population. (Hypertension.2015;65:54-61.

“…In this study, treated hypertensive subjects on the 4-month diet and lifestyle program had significant reductions in blood pressure compared with the control group. However, at the 1-year followup, the difference in blood pressure was no longer significant and effects on markers of oxidative damage were not assessed (38).…”

Possible Role of Oxidative Stress in the Pathogenesis of Hypertension

2008

Recently oxidative stress has been proposed as the cause of hypertension. An imbalance in superoxide and nitric oxide production may account for reduced vasodilation, which in turn can favor the development of hypertension. In vitro and in human studies support this hypothesis. The supplementation of antioxidants, particularly in the form of fresh fruit and vegetables, reduces blood pressure, supporting a role for free radicals in hypertension.Diabetes Care 31 (Suppl. 2):S181-S184, 2008
