Lose weight and win: A church-based weight loss program for blood pressure control among black women
Open accessAbstract
The Baltimore Church High Blood Pressure Program (CHBPP) offers a behaviorally oriented weight control program consisting of eight weekly 2-h diet counseling/exercise sessions. Pre- and post-program weight and blood pressure measurements were analyzed for 184 black and 3 white women aged 18-81 years (mean 51) who participated in the program in 1984-1986: 88 were taking antihypertensive medication (Rx) and 99 were not (no Rx). Mean weight loss was 6 lb in both groups: -18 to +7 lb in the Rx group and -31 to +3 lb in the no Rx group. The mean systolic/diastolic blood pressure (SBP/DBP) decrease was 10/6 mmHg in the Rx group and 5/3 mmHg in the no Rx group (P < 0.001 for all pre/post comparisons). Final SBP was < 140 mmHg for 74% of participants, versus 52% initially. Final DBP was < 90 mmHg in 92% versus 65% initially. Supporting the inference that BP decreases among weight control program participants reflect program effects, percent changes in SBP and DBP (week 2 to week 8) were significantly correlated with percent change in weight (rs = 0.23-0.36; P < 0.05). Comparison data for 25 women from the CHBPP population showed a mean SBP/DBP increase of 8/2 mmHg over an 8-week interval. Based on follow up measurements 6 months after the end of the 8-week program for 74 of the 187 women, weight lost during the 8-week program was maintained or exceeded by 65%. Net weight change at 8 months from baseline for women in the follow up subsample ranged from -28 to +4 lb; mean (SD) -6 (7) lb. Weight loss and related dietary or behavioral changes resulting from participation in a weight control program can enhance blood pressure control among black women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
