Effects of dietary patterns and sodium intake on blood pressure variability: results from the DASH and DASH-sodium trials
While the DASH diet and reduced sodium intake lower absolute BP levels, these dietary interventions do not significantly affect BPV. These findings suggest that the BP-related benefits of the DASH diet and sodium reduction likely result from reducing absolute BP rather than reducing BPV.
