The analysis was performed on an intention-to-treat basis. A descriptive analysis of the groups’ baseline characteristics was performed using the Stratified analyses of between-group MD in SBP at 12 months, with their corresponding 95% CIs, were estimated according to gender, age (40 to 64 years, 65 to 79 years, and ≥ 80 years), baseline SBP (< 160 mmHg vs ≥ 160 mmHg), diabetes, other comorbidities (cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, chronic kidney disease, angina, or acute myocardial infarction), diabetes plus baseline SBP threshold, obesity, overweight/obesity, and obesity plus baseline SBP threshold. Differences between groups at 12 months’ follow-up were estimated for several secondary behavioral outcomes (smoking, obesity, sedentarism), health-related quality of life, the use of health services, and the incidence of adverse events during the study period.In addition, we compared pharmacological treatments between groups at the 12-month visit to provide additional information on the differential therapeutic management between groups.Two-sided
