Study Arms (2)

Active management group

EXPERIMENTAL

Active dietary management and aerobic exercise training. Subjects will receive assessment and education of DASH diet (0, 4, and 8 weeks), with active aerobic exercise training (1 hour everyday exercise, at least 5 times per week for 12 weeks) (aerobic exercise education at baseline, 4, and 8 weeks after randomization). Each set of aerobic exercise consists of 10 minutes warm-up, 40 minutes moderate-intensity treadmill trotting, and 10 minutes cooldown. Telephone counseling at 2, 6, and 10 weeks after randomization.

Other: Active dietary management and aerobic exercise training.

Control group

NO INTERVENTION

Subjects will not receive education and recommendation of dietary management and aerobic exercise training.

Interventions

Active dietary management and aerobic exercise training.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18-80 years
  • Prehypertension or grade 1 hypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure of 130 to 159 mm Hg and/or a diastolic blood pressure of 85 to 99 mm Hg
  • Patients without previous use of anti-hypertensive medication

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients under anti-hypertensive medications
  • Patients with suspected or confirmed secondary hypertension
  • Patients with abnormal liver function tests (transaminases more than three times the upper limit of normal)
  • Patients without aerobic exercise tolerance
  • Patients under hormone replacement therapy or other steroids
  • Patients with peripheral edemas and/or baseline serum creatinine level above 2.0 mg/dL
  • Patients with medical conditions that potentially affect blood pressure, including neurological disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, or malignancy.
