Key result
French dietary guideline adherence is linked to lower systolic BP in women, matching DASH.
Why the study?
The association between blood pressure and adherence to French nutritional guidelines compared with DASH or Mediterranean diets was not well established.
Does adherence to French dietary guidelines improve blood pressure in untreated participants compared to DASH or Mediterranean diets?
Population
11,302 untreated participants from the NutriNet-Santé French web-based cohort
Comparison
Adherence to PNNS guidelines vs adherence to DASH diet or Mediterranean diet
Design
Cross-sectional study

Effect estimate: β = -0.63
p-value: p=< 0.0001
Adherence to French nutritional guidelines is associated with lower systolic blood pressure in women, comparable to the DASH and Mediterranean diets.
Lelong et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure (n=11,302). Adherence to French Nutrition and Health Program (PNNS) guidelines vs. Adherence to DASH or Mediterranean diet was evaluated on Systolic blood pressure (β = -0.63, p=< 0.0001). In women, adherence to French nutritional guidelines was inversely associated with systolic blood pressure (β = -0.63, P<0.0001), similar in magnitude to the DASH and Mediterranean diets.
