Background The effect of dietary composition on blood pressureis a subject of public health importance. We studied the effectof different levels of dietary sodium, in conjunction with theDietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, which isrich in vegetables, fruits, and low-fat dairy products, in personswith and in those without hypertension.
Methods A total of 412 participants were randomly assigned toeat either a control diet typical of intake in the United Statesor the DASH diet. Within the assigned diet, participants atefoods with high, intermediate, and low levels of sodium for30 consecutive days each, in random order.
Results Reducing the sodium intake from the high to the intermediatelevel reduced the systolic blood pressure by 2.1 mm Hg (P<0.001)during the control diet and by 1.3 mm Hg (P=0.03) during theDASH diet. Reducing the sodium intake from the intermediateto the low level caused additional reductions of 4.6 mm Hg duringthe control diet (P<0.001) and 1.7 mm Hg during the DASHdiet (P<0.01). The effects of sodium were observed in participantswith and in those without hypertension, blacks and those ofother races, and women and men. The DASH diet was associatedwith a significantly lower systolic blood pressure at each sodiumlevel; and the difference was greater with high sodium levelsthan with low ones. As compared with the control diet with ahigh sodium level, the DASH diet with a low sodium level ledto a mean systolic blood pressure that was 7.1 mm Hg lower inparticipants without hypertension, and 11.5 mm Hg lower in participantswith hypertension.
Conclusions The reduction of sodium intake to levels below thecurrent recommendation of 100 mmol per day and the DASH dietboth lower blood pressure substantially, with greater effectsin combination than singly. Long-term health benefits will dependon the ability of people to make long-lasting dietary changesand the increased availability of lower-sodium foods.
