Observed Changes in Risk during Naturopathic Treatment of Hypertension

Table 3

Patients with controlled BP during ND care compared with baseline.

“Control” definition	n (%) at baseline	n (%) at last observation	P-value^a
SBP < 140 mmHg	14 (16.5%)	43 (50.6%)	.038
DBP < 90 mmHg	35 (41%)	61 (71.8%)	.026
Combined systolic and diastolic control
Neither SBP nor DBP < 140/90 mmHg	48 (56.5%)	18 (21.2%)	.033
Either SBP or DBP < 140/90 mmHg	25 (29.4%)	30 (35.3%)
Both SBP and DBP < 140/90 mmHg	12 (14.2%)	37 (43.5%)
