Developing lifestyle intervention program for pre-hypertensive patients; consensus building using a modified Delphi approach

This modified Delphi study developed a comprehensive LSIP for the prevention of prehypertension, incorporating a holistic approach with educational, dietary, and exercise components aimed at the general population. Previously established standards of care (SOC) for managing prehypertension varied significantly and often provided fragmented guidance particularly on physical activity and education. This preventive model offers a novel and scalable approach for early intervention in prehypertension, potentially reducing reliance on medications and improving long-term health outcomes.
