Health Promotion to Reduce Blood Pressure Level among Older Blacks.
Haber, David
Gerontologist, v26 n2 p119-21 Apr 1986
Low-income Black elders completed a 10-week health promotion program for the purpose of lowering or stabilizing blood pressure levels. Comparisons were made between classes that met weekly versus three times a week, and between yoga and aerobics formats. A peer-led program was developed that continued for 10 months after the professionally-led class was terminated. (Author/BL)
