Hypertension is likely to decrease with a reduction in which of the following?

The reduction in alcohol consumption is linked to a decrease in hypertension, which is high blood pressure. Excessive alcohol intake can raise blood pressure by causing the body to release more stress hormones, increasing heart rate, and leading to added weight gain. When people reduce alcohol consumption, they often see improvements in overall health, including a decrease in blood pressure levels. Studies have shown that moderate to high alcohol consumption is associated with an increased risk of developing hypertension, while lowering intake can help to manage and reduce high blood pressure.

Though salt intake, sugar intake, and cholesterol levels can have some effect on blood pressure, the direct and well-documented relationship between alcohol consumption and hypertension makes the reduction in alcohol intake particularly significant in this context. Reducing alcohol intake tends to have a more immediate and pronounced effect on blood pressure compared to the other factors listed.
