After 4 weeks, both the salt reduction and healthy lifestyle programs led to lower SBP compared to baseline: −1.7 mm Hg (95% CI, −3.1 to −0.3) for the salt reduction and − 1.5 mm Hg (95% CI, −2.8 to −0.2) for the healthy lifestyle. Importantly, the salt reduction group maintained lower SBP at 8 and 12 weeks, unlike the healthy lifestyle group (Change in office blood pressure (BP) from baseline to 4, 8 and 12 weeks in the complete-case population. All participants from salt reduction and healthy lifestyle groups were included in the analysis of systolic BP In participants with high-normal or hypertension (SBP ≥ 130 and/or DBP ≥ 85, mm Hg;
