The correlation between fruit intake and all-cause mortality in hypertensive patients: a 10-year follow-up study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Extensive research has consistently shown the beneficial impact of fruit consumption on overall health. While some studies have proposed a potential association between fruit consumption and hypertension management, the influence of fruit consumption on mortality rates among hypertensive individuals remains uncertain.
