Impact of a Plant-Based Diet on Indices of Cardiovascular Health in African Americans

NCT05344287 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 19

Last updated 2022-05-05

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The role of diet in preventing hypertension and cardiovascular diseases in African Americans, who have a much higher risk of developing these diseases, is not well understood. Therefore, this project will investigate whether African Americans following a 100% plant-based diet have more optimal blood pressure, vascular function, and blood lipid profiles, along with lower systemic inflammation relative to African Americans following a typical American diet.
