COHP interventions were performed in intervention (68 participants) and control (67 participants). The study was conducted for 24 weeks with intervention at 0-4 weeks and continued with follow-up at 5-24 weeks for participants in four Public Health Centres (PHC) areas in Indonesia. Data were collected using a stethoscope and aneroid sphygmomanometer to measure blood pressure. Data were analysed using Fisher&#39;s exact test, to analyse the differences in systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure in both groups.</span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> <span style="font-size:10pt"><span style="line-height:200%"><span courier="" new="" style="font-family:"><span style="color:black"><b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Results:</span></span></span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="line-height:200%"><span new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times=""> In after 24 weeks of CHOP, there were significant differences SBP between intervention and control groups (126.81 &plusmn; 14.52 Vs. 146.65 &plusmn; 16.38; p< 0.001).
