Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic value of serum creatinine and effect of treatment of hypertension on renal function. Results from the hypertension detection and follow-up program. The Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program Cooperative Group.

TL;DR: The slightly lower rate of development of hypercreatininemia and the higher rate of improvement in stepped-care compared with referred-care participants is consistent with the belief that aggressive treatment of hypertension may reduce renal damage and the associated increased risk of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of Serum Vitamins a and E and Carotenoids to the Risk of Cancer

TL;DR: Measurements from the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program in 1973 do not support hypotheses relating intake or serum levels of antioxidant vitamins to a reduced cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

Persistence of Reduction in Blood Pressure and Mortality of Participants in the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program

TL;DR: The absolute mortality advantage found at 6.7 years persisted and increased throughout the posttrial period of follow-up despite discontinuation of the formal SC therapy program, postulated that regression of hypertensive end-organ changes brought about by the more effective SC treatment caused this favorable outcome.
Journal ArticleDOI

The relationship of weight change to changes in blood pressure, serum uric acid, cholesterol and glucose in the treatment of hypertension.

TL;DR: The potential importance of weight loss in enhancing effectiveness of antihypertensive drug treatment and attenuating increases in glucose, uric acid, and cholesterol associated with diuretic treatment of hypertension are suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Antihypertensive drug side effects in the Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program.

TL;DR: The Hypertension Detection and Follow-up Program data confirm the relative safety of antihypertensive therapy and confirm the beneficial effects of such therapy.
