For change values, negative number demonstrates improvement. Adjusted analyses were conducted using mixed effects linear regression, clustered by region and village.

*Adjusted for age, sex, SBP at baseline, use of antihypertensive medications, change in body mass index, and alcohol use; 37 missing observations due to missing variables. ICC = 0.022.
