Key result
Consumption of dairy, fruits, vegetables, fiber, and whole grains was inversely associated with systolic blood pressure (P<0.04), whereas alcohol intake was positively associated with DBP (P=0.005).
Why the study?

Higher DASH adherence was associated with modestly lower BP; leaves open causal effects and need for trials in French adults.

Is dietary intake associated with blood pressure levels in adults?
Higher consumption of dairy, fruits, vegetables, and fiber is associated with lower systolic blood pressure, while alcohol intake is associated with higher blood pressure in a French adult population.
Vernay et al. (2012) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure (n=1,968). Dietary intake was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Consumption of dairy, fruits, vegetables, fiber, and whole grains was inversely associated with systolic blood pressure (P<0.04), whereas alcohol intake was positively associated with DBP (P=0.005).
