  1. Diet  Blood Pressure Change

    Randomized Clinical Trial

  2. Blood Pressure (BP)
    • The force of blood pushing against the walls of arteries.
    • Measured indirectly with a special cuff over the brachial or
    femoral artery
    • There are two pressures measured:
    • the systolic pressure
    • the diastolic pressure
    Healthy individual:
    Systolic: <140 mmHg
    Diastolic <90 mmHg

    View Slide

  3. Normal Blood Pressure Control
    sympathetic division of the
    autonomic nervous system and the
    kidneys.
     blood volume
     changes in diameter of arteries
     speed and force the heart in
    pumping.

  4. Hypertension (HTN)
    • The American Heart Association
    define the HTN as BP of 140/90 or
    higher.
    • It is a common disorder affect 24%
    of U.S. population.( 1997)
    • HTH is a systemic disease with no
    symptoms for years(silent killer).
    • It can be primary or essential ( 90-
    95%) or secondary (5-10%).

  6. Stages of HTN
    Classification Systolic
    mmHg
    Diastolic
    mmHg
    Normal <120 <80
    Prehypertension 120-139 80-89
    Stage 1 140-159 90-99
    Stage 2 >160 >100

    View Slide

  7. Risk factor of HTN
    • Over 45 years old
    • Overweight
    • African American
    • Family History
    • Eat a diet high in salt
    • Drink too much alcohol
    • Smoke
    While some of these risk factors can
    not change, but the others can change.

    View Slide

  8. 1997 National Guide Line Recommendation
    to Decrease BP:
    • Weight control
    • Reduce intake of salt
    • Reduce alcohol consumption
    • Possible increase potassium intake

    View Slide

  9. Food and BP
    • More salt intake lead to more
    thirsty  volume overload.
    • More K decrease BP and
    decrease stroke by 24%.
    • Fruits, vegetables,
    unprocessed meat and fish
    rich in K.
    • Processes food removes
    potassium and adds salt.
    • Fat intake cause obesity
    which stimulate adrenal
    aldosterone
    • Calcium decrease intestinal
    absorption of lipids.

  10. Previous studies
    Observational
    Study
    • Vegetarians were
    observed to have lower
    BP
    • Inverse relationship of BP
    and the intake of Mg, K,
    Ca, fibers
    Clinical Trial
    • Trials for each Mg, K, Ca,
    fibers nutrients as
    supplements, results
    are inconsistent

  11. Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension
    (DASH)
    • Started from 1993
    • 1st group: Sept. 1994
    • Funded by
    • NHLBI
    • Office of Research on Minority Health
    • National Center for Research Resources of the National
    Institutes of Health
    • Design: Clinical trial
    Clinical center :
    Baltimore
    Baton Rouge
    Durham
    Boston
    John Hopkins University
    Louisiana University
    Brigham and Women’s Hospital
    John Hopkins University
    Recruitment strategy
    - Mass mailing
    - Work-based
    - Community-based
    Targeted to have 2/3
    participants as
    minority

    View Slide

  12. DASH
    -the idea behind the design
    • Effects of a single molecule is hard to detect
    • Combining all nutrients = observable effects
    • Unknown nutrients/molecules
    • Unknown interactions
    • Natural > artificial
    The study also investigates the
    effects of the dietary
    interventions on changes in
    levels of serum lipids, renin,
    ionized and calcium.
    Also explores the effects of
    several baseline characteristics,

    Persons whose BP rise to levels necessitating referral are excluded from further
    participation if they are treated with medications.
    If BP:

    Diastolic: > 105 mmHg
    OR
    Systolic: > 180 mmHg
    Diastolic: > 110 mmHg

  32. Conclusion
    • The most effective diet is rich in
    fruits, vegetable, low fat dairy,
    less saturated & total fat.
    • Ideal diet has similar effect of
    monotherapy used in mild HTN.
    • Applied for the prevention & treatment
    of HTN.
    • Ideal diet may reduce the occurrence of
    HTN-related cardiovascular diseases.
    Observation
    • Reduction of BP
    • started by 2nd week
    • But varied/increased
    around the last few weeks
    • Why smoking was not
    mentioned?
    • Unexpected Ca++ excretion on Veggie
    and Ideal diets

    View Slide

  33. Strength
    • Multicenter and large number of subjects.
    • Provision of foods to the participants is intended to maximize
    adherence.
    • Blindness of BP observers and subjects.
    • Standardized protocol and centralized training of food service.
    • Same menus offered in all field centers (validated and monitoring).
    • 60% of subjects were black (high risk population).

    View Slide

  34. Strength, cont.
    • Study the effect of the 3 different food pattern on the BP.
    • Meals available in 4 different energy levels according to the requirement
    to maintain the wt.
    • BP measured by same way and method by training staff in all center.
    • Assays related to study outcomes are measured in a central laboratory.
    • Subjects adherence to assigned diets was excellent.
    • Abstract is accurate.
    • Measurement of ambulatory BP add a confirmation of BP study
    measurement .

    View Slide

  35. Limitation
    • the participants do have to make some life-style changes effort
    to accommodate the requirements of the study. Is it possible?
    • Procedure for evaluating of adherence (self report).
    • Trial was not design to identify the effective and ineffective
    component of diets. Limitation or strength?

    View Slide

  36. Weakness
    • Generalizability.
    • No control of smoke.
    • 8 weeks intervention study is short period.

    View Slide

  37. Future plan
    • Assess the affect of the diets on the BP > 8 weeks.
    • Assess the effect of the diets and cardiovascular diseases.
    • Assess the effect of the diet control on stage 2 HTN beside the
    medication.
    • DASH trial for non smoker.

    View Slide

  38. Discussion
    after the study prove the effect of dietary pattern on BP,
    do you think the prevalence of HTN since 1997 is
    increase, decrease, or same?

    View Slide

  39. View Slide

  40. Public health implication of trial results
    • Prevention of HTN
    • In HTN pts. Ideal diet alternative of the medication in stage 1
    HTN.
    • Reduction of the occurrence of HTN-related cardiovascular
    disease by 15% and stroke by 27%

    • Healthy diet
    • Lower Na+ and salts
