Article Synopsis
- - Hypertension is a major health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, influenced by several risk factors, and community-based interventions can effectively help in its prevention and management.
- - A systematic review was conducted to analyze studies on community-based interventions related to hypertension, gathering data from multiple research databases and adhering to PRISMA guidelines.
- - The review included eight studies demonstrating that while community interventions can lower blood pressure, the overall evidence is inconsistent and insufficient to confidently determine their effectiveness in managing hypertension in this region.
