Increased Access to Fruits and Vegetables for DASH Diet Compliance in Immigrant Hispanic/Latinx Individuals With Hypertension
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Fruit and vegetable supplement and Dietary and chronic disease management education for Cardiovascular Diseases. Completed, enrolled 21 participants across 5 sites.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the effect improved access to culturally-appropriate fruits/vegetables has on cardiometabolic markers, specifically systolic blood pressure and markers of adiposity in immigrant Hispanic/Latinx individuals with hypertension and obesity. The secondary aim is to determine compliance to the increased F/V intake recommended by the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) Diet by assessing changes in skin carotenoid status. The main question it aims to answer is whether consuming 8-10 servings of culturally-appropriate, carotenoid-containing F/V daily for 4 weeks to meet the requirements of the DASH Diet supported by diet and lifestyle education will result in reductions in systolic BP and decreased markers of adiposity (body weight, Body Mass Index, and waist circumference).
