By Bhavana KunkalikarMay 3 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure levels among hypertensive patients. However, despite available evidence supporting the beneficial effects of the DASH diet for physical health, only a few studies have examined the psychological effects of this diet.
About the study Between May 2021 and July 2021, researchers performed a thorough search for articles from PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases. These databases were systematically searched up to May 2021. Results The final sample consisted of 16 studies, 10 observational studies and six randomized controlled trials . Of the 10 observational studies, five were cross-sectional, four were longitudinal, and one was both cross-sectional and longitudinal. The sample size in the studies ranged from 36 to 19,270.
