Research:
Data on the association between dairy consumption and blood pressure have been inconsistent, so researchers set out to determine the relationship between dairy consumption and prevalent HTN among 4797 participants of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Family Heart Study.

Results:
From the lowest to the highest sex-, age-, and energy-adjusted quartile of dairy consumption, there was an inverse association between dairy intake and prevalent HTN. This association was independent of calcium intake and was mainly observed among subjects consuming fewer calories from saturated fat. Dairy consumption was inversely associated with systolic but not diastolic blood pressure. Although subjects consuming two servings per day of dairy products and higher total linolenic acid had the lowest prevalence odds of HTN, there was no evidence for interaction between linolenic acid and dairy consumption on HTN. At the conclusion of the study, researchers said there is an inverse association between dairy consumption and prevalent HTN, independent of dietary calcium, and mainly among individuals consuming less saturated fat. As a result, they believe the consumption of low-fat dairy products might be more beneficial for preventing HTN.
