Values are mean ± SD, n (%), or % (n/n), unless otherwise indicated.
Among participants with hypertension at baseline: intervention = 341, control = 186.
Defined as blood pressure <140/90 mm Hg: intervention = 341, control = 186.
Defined as fasting blood sugar <126 mg/dl: intervention = 177, control = 61.
CI = confidence interval.
