Objectives: DASH(dietary approaches to stop hypertension) diet are recommended as first-line therapy for prevention of hypertension individuals with high normal blood pressure. We studied the effects of DASH program on blood pressure among the pre-hypertension group.
Methods: To determine the impact of dietary patterns on the control of hypertension we studied the subgroup of 141 participants with systolic blood pressure of 120 to 139mmHg or diastolic BP of 80 to 89mmHg, body mass index(BMI)≥25 kg/㎡or waist to hip ratio ( W H R )≥0.95(for man), 0.85(for woman) enrolled in DASH program. Participants were received of education and consulting about DASH every week for 8 weeks.
Results: The level of diet to prevention of hypertension and compliance of DASH increased after education. Also, The DASH program significantly reduced systolic BP (from 136.03±12.40 mmHg to 126.09±11.25 mmHg, p< .01) and diastolic BP (from 81.80±6.32 mmHg to 76.44±10.61 mmHg, p< .01).
Conclusion: The DASH program effectively lowers BP and may be useful in achieving prevention of hypertension.
