Journal ArticleDOI

Serum cholesterol levels and six-year mortality from stroke in 350,977 men screened for the multiple risk factor intervention trial

TL;DR: It is concluded that there is an inverse relation between the serum cholesterol level and the risk of death from hemorrhagic stroke in middle-aged American men, but that its public health impact is overwhelmed by the positive association of higher serum cholesterol levels with death from nonhemorrhagic stroke and total cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term weight loss and changes in blood pressure: results of the Trials of Hypertension Prevention, phase II

TL;DR: This was a randomized, controlled trial examining the effects of weight loss and dietary sodium reduction, alone and in combination, in reducing blood pressure in overweight adults with high-normal diastolic blood pressure, which is at high risk for hypertension as they age.
Journal ArticleDOI

Implications of small reductions in diastolic blood pressure for primary prevention.

TL;DR: A small reduction of 2 mm Hg in DBP in the mean of the population distribution, in addition to medical treatment, could have a great public health impact on the number of CHD and stroke events prevented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Effects of Nonpharmacologic Interventions on Blood Pressure of Persons With High Normal Levels: Results of the Trials of Hypertension Prevention, Phase I

TL;DR: Weight reduction is the most effective of the strategies tested for reducing blood pressure in normotensive persons, and sodium reduction is also effective.
