| Research Abstract |
The aim of this randomized study was to examine the effect of dietary pattern of traditional Okinawa on blood pressure. 132 healthy Japanese volunteers living in Okinawa were recruited for the study. Of these, 110 participants were completed the study protocols. Intervention of dietary pattern of traditional Okinawa significantly decreased systolic blood pressure which was accompanied by decrease in estimated sodium intake. No adverse effects were observed during the study periods. The data indicate that intervention of dietary pattern of traditional Okinawa is one of useful non-pharmacological therapies to improve blood pressure control in hypertension
