Data was collected for three RCTs (CRESSIDA, MARINA and Fruit & Veg). All three studies investigated possible benefits of dietary modification on ambulatory blood pressure and arterial stiffness but with varying study designs and timeframes.
All study and trial procedures were performed at Guy’s and St. Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust. Each study was approved by a local research ethics committee.
Professor Tom Sanders was the Chief Investigator for the RCTs.
