Hypertension affects approximately 50 million individuals in the United States and approximately 1 billion worldwide. Although heredity plays a role in blood pressure variability, diet and lifestyle exert considerable influence in blood pressure regulation. This report reviews the evidence of the relationship between a vegetarian diet and blood pressure regulation and presents data as to the putative mechanisms of action.
在美国，高血压影响着约5000万人，在全球约有10亿人受其影响。尽管遗传因素在血压变化中起一定作用，但饮食和生活方式对血压调节有相当大的影响。本报告回顾了素食与血压调节之间关系的证据，并提供了关于假定作用机制的数据。
