Weight loss-induced reduction in diastolic blood pressure

Weight loss-induced reduction in diastolic blood pressure
Relationship between the quantity of weight lost and the fall in diastolic blood pressure in 308 moderately obese patients given a weight reduction regimen for 18 months. The patients began with a diastolic pressure between 80 and 89 mmHg; those who lost the most weight had the largest reduction in diastolic pressure. The decreases in the systolic pressure were similar.
BP: blood pressure.
