Nearly half of adults in the United States (47 percent, or 116 million) have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure (BP). Uncontrolled high BP can be devasting as it can lead to stroke, heart attack and kidney failure, as well as other numerous health conditions. Hypertension can be controlled; however, only one in four of adults with hypertension have their BP controlled. The chance of having high BP increases as one ages, requiring the need to examine effective hypertension strategies in older adults. The issue of hypertension management is compounded even further among older U.S. adults who live with multiple chronic diseases. National organizations identified several effective health systems strategies for improving rates of BP control, including patient self-measured blood pressure (SMBP) monitoring. SMBP involves a patient's regular use of personal BP monitoring devices to assess and record BP across different points in time, typically at home. The evidence base for utilizing SMBP strategies in healthcare systems and practices is strong. However, there is not research regarding SMBP including how to include it into workflow in primary care clinics. Previous research has shown SMBP is beneficial, but more information is needed regarding whether SMBP is beneficial in high-risk populations (such as rural, older adults or Black, older patients). The research team will test whether SMBP with normal clinical support vs SMBP with clinical pharmacist support improves BP in older adults living with multiple chronic conditions. The addition of a pharmacist has been shown to improve patient outcomes, though the effectiveness of SMBP with a clinical pharmacist in older adults is not known. The primary outcome will be change in systolic BP over 12 months. The secondary outcome will be self-reported treatment burden over 12 months, using a validated tool called the Multimorbidity Treatment Burden Questionnaire. The research team plans to include a subgroup of rural, older adults and Black, older adults and will not exclude older adults who have dementia.
People with high blood pressure and diabetes often have low levels of key nutrients as a result of not eating enough fresh fruits and vegetables. Research studies suggest that these nutrients can lower blood pressure and blood sugar. This study will investigate if providing encouragement to adopt this healthy and nutritious way of eating and providing guidance on weight management will lower blood pressure and blood sugar. The DASH-Life research study will recruit adults with hypertension and type 2 diabetes who live in Baltimore metro areas that don't have many stores selling healthy foods. The DASH-Life research study is 6 months long. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) Self-Shopping DASH (S-DASH) diet advice group, or 2) Coaching DASH (C-DASH) diet advice group.
This study aims to compare a multidisciplinary clinical hypertension and social needs intervention to enhanced standard of care for hypertension management in primary care clinics with regards to hypertension control outcomes.

The goal of this HIV and Aging Pilot Program Proposal is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations in HIV and geroscience by providing emerging researchers with experience and mentorship in translational research. The focus is on collecting data on the efficacy and feasibility of short-term high-intensity interval training among older people with HIV (PWH) and co-occurring hypertension. Non-AIDS defining comorbidities are increasingly prevalent among aging PWH. The use of antiretroviral therapies (ART) has extended life expectancy, presenting unique risks for aging-related multimorbidities. Hypertension, affecting over 50% of HIV-infected adults in the U.S., is a significant chronic disorder among PWH. Regular exercise improves function and prevents decline in adults with comorbidities. Functional outcomes are good predictors of cardiovascular health in older PWH with hypertension. Exercise improves cardiovascular, metabolic, and functional measures in young PWH, but older PWH often do not meet physical activity guidelines due to barriers like motivation, time, and pain. The impact of high-intensity exercise on physical function in older PWH is unknown, despite evidence of benefits from low-moderate intensity exercise. Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of high-intensity exercise in older PWH with hypertension will provide valuable information for future studies. The specific aims of the proposed study are to assess the integrity of the study protocol, including safety, adherence, and retention, to develop standard operating procedures for future trials, while determining participant perceived benefits and barriers. Additionally, the study aims to assess the variance of secondary outcomes and the effects of the intervention on the 6-minute walk test, lower extremity function as assessed by the Short Physical Performance Battery, skeletal muscle strength and endurance as assessed by isokinetic muscle testing, chronic pain evaluated by the Brief Pain Inventory and Pain assessments, markers of vascular health such as arterial stiffness, and circulating indices of inflammation including inflammatory profile, skeletal muscle degradation, and metabolism.

Background: Childhood-onset essential hypertension (COEH) is high blood pressure that develops in children and teens. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for heart disease. COEH is more likely to be caused by changes in genes rather than by factors like stress or diet. Researchers want to learn more about how changes in genes relate to COEH. They hope to use that information to develop better treatments for children with high blood pressure. Objective: This natural history study will look for genes and gene changes that may lead to COEH. Eligibility: People aged 2 years and older with COEH or who had COEH when they were children. Healthy relatives of those with COEH are also needed. Design: Participants will have one clinic visit per year for up to 10 years. All participants will have a physical exam. They will provide samples of blood and urine. At their first visit, they will have a swab (like a Q-tip) rubbed between their gums and cheeks. They may agree to having a skin biopsy; a piece of skin about the size of a pencil eraser will be removed. Affected participants aged 2 to 17 years old will have additional tests: * They will have sensors placed on their skin to look at their blood vessels and see how blood is moving in their bodies. * They will lie or stand while a machine measures the amount of fat and muscle in their bodies. * They will have an ultrasound; a wand will be rubbed against their skin to take pictures of their kidneys. Other things are optional for all participants: * They may have photographs taken of their bodies. * They may have tests of their heart function. * They may have different types of imaging scans.
A total of 65 participants with hypertension and low access to high quality food will be enrolled to test the feasibility of using commercially available grocery delivery services, simultaneous to a robust behavioral intervention, to improve adherence to the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating pattern. The behavioral intervention will include skills training, nutrient goal setting, self-monitoring via dietary tracking, personalized text message feedback, and adaptive health coaching. Participants will also receive a membership to Instacart+ and weekly grocery list recommendations from a health coach. The primary outcome will be indicators of feasibility, including acceptability, demand, implementation and practicality and adaption. Change in DASH adherence and blood pressure will also be evaluated. The intervention period for participants will be 4 months.

High blood pressure is a powerful risk factor for heart disease. Black women are more likely to have high blood pressure than white women or Hispanic women. Even when they are aware they have high blood pressure, many people struggle to keep their blood pressure controlled. Research shows a connection between life stress and high blood pressure and heart disease outcomes. Mindfulness training programs can help people regulate their emotions and cope with stress. Research shows that mindfulness programs can also lower blood pressure. This study will compare two programs: MIND-BP, a Zoom-based mindfulness training group; and BOOST, a Zoom-based support group. The aims of the study are to test if the MIND-BP program leads to greater reductions in blood pressure, stress and depressive symptoms than the BOOST program in Black women with high blood pressure who are participating in the Jackson Heart Study. The primary outcome measure is 6-month change in systolic blood pressure. The secondary outcome measures are 6-month changes in perceived stress and depressive symptoms.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to test the effectiveness of a four-module nutrition education resource promoting nonpharmacological approaches to prevent and manage hypertension. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the educational intervention increase the knowledge of using nonpharmacological approaches in preventing and managing hypertension among participants? * Does the educational intervention improve participants' lifestyle behaviors to prevent and manage hypertension? Researchers will compare a four-module educational intervention with a control group (no educational information received until after the study) to see if the educational intervention works to improve knowledge and healthy lifestyle behaviors in preventing and managing hypertension. Participants will: * Attend a 30-minute workshop every week for 4 weeks or no workshop at all * Complete a survey on demographic information, knowledge, lifestyle behaviors, and quality of life at baseline and end of the study * Complete a dietary 24-hour food recall at baseline, two weeks into the study, and at the end of the study * Monitor blood pressure levels two times a day for four weeks
