Trial Outcomes & Findings for Clinical Trial of Dietary Protein and Blood Pressure (NCT NCT00046566)

NCT ID: NCT00046566

Last Updated: 2017-07-24

Results Overview

The change of systolic blood pressure was calculated as the mean of 6 blood pressure values from two 8-week visits minus the mean of 6 values from two baseline visits within each intervention phase. At each visit, 3 BP values were measured with a Hawksley random-zero sphygmomanometer by trained and certified observers who were masked to group assignment. BP readings were taken from the right arm with appropriately sized cuffs after the participant had been seated quietly for 5 minutes. The participant was instructed not to eat, smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise for at least 30 minutes before their BP measurements.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 8 weeks

Population: participants took soy protein during three phases

The change of systolic blood pressure was calculated as the mean of 6 blood pressure values from two 8-week visits minus the mean of 6 values from two baseline visits within each intervention phase. At each visit, 3 BP values were measured with a Hawksley random-zero sphygmomanometer by trained and certified observers who were masked to group assignment. BP readings were taken from the right arm with appropriately sized cuffs after the participant had been seated quietly for 5 minutes. The participant was instructed not to eat, smoke, drink alcohol, or exercise for at least 30 minutes before their BP measurements.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Every 8 weeks

Population: Participants took soy protein for 8 weeks

Change in serum LDL-cholesterol was calculated as LDL-cholesterol at 8 weeks minus LDL-cholesterol at baseline. Over-night fasting serum LDL-cholesterol was measured with an enzymatic method.
