Randomized Controlled Trial

Some concerns

The inclusion criteria were the following: well-controlled BP <140/90 mm/Hg for at least six months, BMI >/=25 kg/m2, postmenopausal age for women (defined as a time period of at least two years from the last menstrual cycle), and no history of hormone replacement therapy.

The exclusion criteria were as follows: coronary artery disease, heart failure, kidney and liver diseases, type 2 diabetes, and failure to meet the inclusion criteria. Any one of the above-mentioned criteria was sufficient to exclude the patient.

The aim of the study was to assess the impact of individualized nutritional intervention based on the DASH diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) on the nutritional status, blood pressure, and selected biochemical parameters of obese/overweight patients with primary arterial hypertension.
