Dairy consumption has a partial inverse association with systolic blood pressure and hypertension in populations with high salt and low dairy diets: cross-sectional data analysis from the Iwaki Health Promotion Project.

ABSTRACT: The prevalence of hypertension in Japan remains high, owing to the high salt content of the typical Japanese diet. Dairy-based foods may reduce blood pressure and hypertension risk. However, dairy consumption is low in Japan, and the relationships between dairy intake and blood pressure or the mechanisms by which dairy products affect blood pressure are not fully understood. This cross-sectional study was conducted as part of the Iwaki Health Promotion Project in Aomori, Japan. A total of 1071 participants were included from those who underwent annual medical checkups in June 2015. Adjusted multivariate linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the relationships between dairy consumption and blood pressure or hypertension risk.
