In the Dan and Ashkelon areas of Israel, 28 male and 24 female mild to moderate hypertensives without target organ damage aged 35-65 years were randomly assigned to treatment programmes (based on nutritional management, exercise and stress management techniques) either on an individual basis administered by physician-nurse teams (PN) or on a group basis from a team of paramedical professionals (PP) consisting of a psychologist, nutritionist and physical activity instructor. At 11 and 24 months follow-up, there were similar significant improvements in both treatment modes for such risk factors as body mass index, caloric intake and physical activity levels. There was a significant decrease in drug use from $36.28 a month at baseline to $18.94 a month at 11 month follow-up (P = 0.01) and to an estimated $20.48 at 24 months. Mean BP remained unchanged, despite the reduction in drug use, indicating a reduction in the underlying BP. The net present value (NPV) of the reduction in drug utilisation totalled $740 per person over a five year time horizon and a 7.5% discount rate. The total extra costs of treatment, training, case-note writing, travelling and follow-up booster sessions, amounted to $95 per patient for the PN mode and $234 per patient for the PP mode, yielding benefit to cost ratios of 7.79/1 and 3.16/l, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
