Brief Summary

Hypertension (HT) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and death. Approximately 16.9 million people in Turkey have HT. Nutritional habits play an important role in the development of HT. DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) and the Mediterranean diet (MD) have been found to be effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing cardiometabolic risks. The DASH diet stands out with its low sodium, saturated fat, simple sugar and cholesterol content, while it is rich in fiber, potassium, magnesium and anti-inflammatory components. The MD is based on healthy foods such as olive oil, vegetables, fruits, fish and nuts, and contains antioxidants and healthy fatty acids. This study will investigate whether the sodium-restricted MD can offer a model comparable to DASH. In addition, the effects of the intermittent fasting diet (IFD) model alone and in combination with the MD on blood pressure will be examined. It has been observed that IFD reduces blood pressure by reducing energy intake and acting on the autonomic nervous system. The aim of this project is to evaluate the effects of MD, IFD and both of them on hypertension and to present a new and original approach in this field.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Blood pressure

    The participants' blood pressure will be measured six times in this research. Blood pressure measurements will be taken by a trained physician in accordance with standard measurement protocols. Measurements will be taken after a 5-minute rest period, with the patient seated, using an automatic blood pressure monitor with the correct cuff size applied to the arm. Two consecutive measurements will be taken for each patient, with at least 1 minute between measurements. The average of the two measurements obtained will be used in the analyses. The following points will be taken into consideration during the measurements. * Patients should not have smoked, consumed caffeine, or exercised in the last 30 minutes * During the measurement, the patient should be leaning back with their feet flat on the floor * The arm being measured should be supported at heart level Blood pressure values will be evaluated according to the 2023 ESC/ESH hypertension guidelines.

Interventions

All participants will receive face-to-face nutrition education from specialist dietitians in accordance with the principles of nutrition for hypertension. Nutrition education will be provided through prepared brochures. The brochures will be given to participants as gifts. Nutrition education will cover topics such as hypertension and nutrition, nutrients, the importance of micronutrients, foods containing salt, reading labels, limiting salt consumption, healthy fat consumption, fibre consumption, water consumption, and healthy cooking methods.

Group A (control)Group B (Intermittent Fasting Diet Group)Group C (Mediterranean Diet Group)Group D (the Combination of Intermittent Fasting Diet and Mediterranean Diet)

Training will be provided to all participants through a food and nutrition photo catalogue so that portions can be recorded correctly and within standard limits when keeping a food diary. Participants will restrict their food intake to a 16-hour period by applying the 16/8 Intermittent Fasting Diet model and will eat and drink whatever they want during the remaining 8 hours. During this 16-hour period, they will consume non-energy drinks consisting of water, unsweetened tea, unsweetened herbal teas and black coffee. It will be recommended that intermittent fasting be maintained from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 a.m. However, participants may also choose other 16-hour periods, such as 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. or 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 p.m. Participants will be given a tracking chart to record the first and last times they consume food or energy-containing beverages during the day, and their adherence to the diet will be monitored based on their declarations.

Group B (Intermittent Fasting Diet Group)Group D (the Combination of Intermittent Fasting Diet and Mediterranean Diet)

Training will be provided to all participants through a food and nutrition photo catalogue to ensure that portions are recorded correctly and within standard limits when keeping a food diary. In addition, the dietician will provide this group with a diet plan calculated for energy, macro and micro nutrients, which will be different each week for the first four follow-ups. The diet plans provided will be prepared in accordance with the Mediterranean Diet food pyramid. Participants' energy requirements will be calculated using the Schofield Equation for basal metabolic rate, with adjustments made according to their physical activity levels. Energy requirements will be met by 45-50% from carbohydrates, 15-20% from protein, and 25-35% from fats.
