Dietary pattern and its association with blood pressure and blood lipid profiles among Japanese adults in the 2012 Japan National Health and Nutrition Survey.

Abstract

Our study showed that the traditional Japanese pattern with high intake of miso, soy-sauce, vegetables, beans, potatoes and mushroom conferred benefits on blood pressure. Our findings have indicated clearly that it is possible to provide useful information on healthy dietary pattern for health promotion from the one-day dietary records of the NHNS.
