Two of the three RCTs reported a mean reduction in diastolic BP of \u22122.8\u2009mm Hg (\u22125.0, \u20130.6; p=0.01) for the Nigerian study; \u22123.0\u2009mm Hg; (\u22125.7, \u20130.4; p=0.02) for the Guatemalan study; while the study conducted in Ghana reported a non-significant change in BP. The pre\u2013post studies reported a significant reduction in mean systolic BP of \u22125.5\u2009mm Hg; (p=0.01) for the Bolivian study, and \u22125.9\u2009mm Hg (\u221211.3, \u20130.4; p=0.05) for the Nicaraguan study.
