Effects of a Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet Intervention on Serum Uric Acid in African Americans With Hypertension.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine whether partial replacement of a diet typical of the average American diet with Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH)-related foods in the home environment lowers the serum uric acid (UA) level in individuals with hypertension.

Methods

We conducted an ancillary study of a randomized trial of African American adults with controlled hypertension from an urban clinic. Participants were assigned to either a control group or an intervention (DASH-Plus) group. DASH-Plus participants received coach-directed dietary advice, assistance with purchasing DASH-related foods ($30/week), and home delivery of food via a community supermarket. Participants in the control group received a DASH diet brochure and a debit card account ($30/week) to purchase foods. S
