Lifestyle Interventions Addressing Blood Pressure in Children
In this systematic review, results indicate that lifestyle interventions can have a beneficial effect on blood pressure in the pediatric population, with multicomponent designs targeting both physical activity and nutrition showing the most promise. Future research should aim to further clarify intervention design and physical activity dosage, feasibility, and scalability, along with the long-term success of interventions that promote healthy blood pressure in children.
