Dr. Art Leon, professor in Kinesiology, and his former student Ulf Bronas, Ph.D., research associate in the School of Nursing, have had their article, "Hypertension: Lifestyle Modifications for its Prevention and Management," accepted by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine. The article is the centerpiece of the journal's issue on "Lifestyle Management of High Blood Pressure." The journal's reviewer commented, "It is, in a word, 'superb.' The manuscript does exactly what I hoped for--which is provide in one comprehensive review the scientific basis for why lifestyle interventions are so effective both in helping to prevent and manage high blood pressure."

The manuscript will be published in the November-December 2009 issue.
