DASH vs. Mediterranean diet on a salt restriction background in adults with high normal blood pressure or grade 1 hypertension: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Non-pharmacological measures are recommended as the first-line treatment for individuals with high-normal blood pressure (BP) or mild hypertension. Studies directly comparing the BP effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) vs. the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) on a salt restriction background are currently lacking. Thus, our purpose was to assess the BP effects of a 3-month intensive dietary intervention implementing salt restriction either alone or in the context of the DASH, and the MedDiet compared to no/minimal intervention in adults with high normal BP or grade 1 hypertension.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in the Southern Community Cohort Study
Higher intake of ultra-processed foods (UPF) has been linked with higher risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes, as well as all-cause mortality. However, studies on UPF and cause-specific mortality remain limited, especially among disadvantaged populations. We aimed to examine associations of UPF intake with all-cause and cause-specific mortality among low-income Americans. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)

Comprehensive Assessment of Chrononutrition Behaviors Among Nationally Representative Adults: Insights from National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) Data
Aligning the time of food intake, i.e., chrononutrition, with the body's circadian clock can have a significant impact on overall health, particularly cardiometabolic health. However, there is a lack of population-based information on various chrononutrition behaviors in the United States, where the prevalence of obesity is high. (Source: Clinical Nutrition)
