Trial summary

High saturated fat acids diets are associated with elevated blood pressure which is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For this reason, a change of diet is recommended to manage blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular complications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Effect of High-carbohydrate or High-monounsaturated Fatty Acids on Blood Pressure: a Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials

High saturated fat acids diets are associated with elevated blood pressure which is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. For this reason, a change of diet is recommended to manage blood pressure and prevent cardiovascular complications. To achieve this nutritional goal, a high-carbohydrate diet or high-monounsaturated fat diet can be advised in the replacement of a saturated fat diet.

Previous meta-analysis of Garg (1998) cited randomized articles with inconsistent blood pressure lowering after consumption of a high-monounsaturated-fat diet compared with a high-carbohydrate diet only in type 2 diabetes patients. Moreover, another meta-analysis of Shah et al. (2007) showed slightly high blood pressure on diets rich in carbohydrates than diets rich in cis-monounsaturated fat after randomized and nonrandomized articles.

For this reason, a new meta-analysis of a randomized clinical trial will be performed to clarify the effects of high-carbohydrate or high-monounsaturated fat diets on blood pressure. Results from this meta-analysis will help health professionals take important decisions on patient diet and minimize cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Blood pressure (time frame: 3 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02626325, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
