Effects of the DASH-JUMP dietary intervention in Japanese participants with high-normal blood pressure and stage 1 hypertension: an open-label single-arm trial.
Study Goal
The researchers aimed to assess the effects of a modified DASH diet (DASH-JUMP) with controlled salt intake (8.0 g/day) on cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in Japanese participants with high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension.
Results Summary
The DASH-JUMP significantly decreased participants' body mass index values, suggesting a positive effect on metabolic health. The abstract does not provide detailed results on blood pressure or other biomarkers.
Population
Japanese participants (30 men, 28 women; mean age 54.1±8.1 years) with untreated high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension.
Effective Dosage
8.0 g of salt per day.
Duration
2 months of intervention followed by 4 months of usual diet.
Interactions
None mentioned

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet is recommended by the American Heart Association to lower blood pressure (BP); however, its effects in Japanese participants have not been rigorously studied. We assessed the effects of the DASH-Japan Ube Modified diet Program (DASH-JUMP), a modified DASH diet, on cardiometabolic and inflammatory biomarkers in Japanese participants with untreated high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension. Fifty-eight participants (30 men and 28 women; mean age 54.1±8.1 years) with untreated high-normal BP or stage 1 hypertension followed the DASH-JUMP (salt 8.0 g per day) for 2 months. After the intervention period, they resumed their usual diets for 4 months. The DASH-JUMP significantly decreased the participants' body mass index values (24.6±3.5 kg m
