eTable 5. Effects on systolic and diastolic 24-h blood pressure in the yoga group with yoga postures (Yoga A; n = 11) and the yoga group without yoga postures (Yoga B; n = 13).

Outcome measure Group Measurement time Group difference [95% CI]
week 28
Week 1 Week 28
24-h SBP Yoga A 131.7 ± 12.3 130.0 ± 8.6 −5.3 [−10.9; 0.3]; p = 0.060
Yoga B 131.1 ± 10.1 134.9 ± 12.7
24-h DBP Yoga A 83.6 ± 12.8 82.4 ± 9.3 −1.3 [−4.4; 1.99]; p = 0.409
Yoga B 83.1 ± 11.7 82.7 ± 9.3

Effects expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Only patients who did not continue to practice yoga after week 12 were included in this analysis. Group differences were calculated within covariance models that controlled for baseline values.

CI = confidence interval, DBP = diastolic blood pressure, SBP = systolic blood pressure
