Abstract

Hypertension is a disease with an increasing number of sufferers every year. To control and lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients, pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies are needed. Non-pharmacological hypertension therapy can be done by modifying the diet, one of which has been recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) is the Mediterranean diet. The composition of the Mediterranean diet contains high levels of PUFA, MUFA, and antioxidants that can lower blood pressure sourced from vegetable and olive oil. The design of this study used an analytical method with a cohort observation of 63 hypertension subjects with a Mediterranean diet. This study aims to determine the correlation between the duration of the Mediterranean diet on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Researchers divided the three groups based on the length of the diet in three months. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure data were analyzed using the Anova test and Duncan’s Post Hoc comparison test. The results of this study found a significant relationship with a value of p = 0.001 in the decrease in systolic blood pressure, and p = 0.010 for the decrease in diastolic blood pressure. The Mediterranean diet lowers blood pressure by improving endothelial dysfunction, suppressing oxidative stress, and improving the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In this study, it can be concluded that there is a significant decrease in blood pressure in hypertensive patients who are running the Mediterranean diet.
