Hellwig JP – The association between combinations of three (normal BMI, daily vigorous exercise, and DASH–style diet), four (three low–risk factors plus modest alcohol intake), five (four low–risk factors plus avoidance of nonnarcotic analgesics), and six (folic acid supplementation >=400 mcg/day) low–risk factors and the risk of developing hypertension was analyzed. During the follow–up, a total of 12,319 new cases of hypertension were reported. All six modifiable risk factors were independently associated with the risk of developing hypertension during follow–up after also adjusting for age, race, family history of hypertension, smoking status and use of oral contraceptives. For women who had all six low–risk factors (0.3 percent of the population), they had about an 80 percent lower risk of developing hypertension.
