The incidence of high blood pressure (BP) along with other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors on human health has been studied for many years. These studies have proven a link between unhealthy dietary habits and sedentary lifestyle with the onset of hypertension, which is a hallmark of CV and cerebrovascular diseases. The Mediterranean diet, declared by the UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2013, is rich in vegetables, legumes, fruits and virgin olive oil. Thanks to its many beneficial effects, including those with regard to lowering BP, the Mediterranean diet may help people from modern countries to achieve a lower occurrence of CV disease. Data from human and animal studies have shown that the consumption of virgin olive oil shares most of the beneficial effects of the Mediterranean diet. Virgin olive oil is the only edible fat that can be consumed as a natural fruit product with no additives or preservatives, and contains a unique constellation of bioactive entities, namely oleic acid and minor constituents. In this review, we summarize what is known about the effects of virgin olive oil on hypertension.
高血压（BP）以及其他心血管（CV）危险因素对人类健康的影响已被研究多年。这些研究证实了不健康的饮食习惯和久坐不动的生活方式与高血压发病之间的联系，高血压是心血管和脑血管疾病的一个标志。自2013年起被联合国教科文组织宣布为非物质文化遗产的地中海饮食，富含蔬菜、豆类、水果和初榨橄榄油。由于其诸多有益作用，包括对降低血压的作用，地中海饮食可能有助于现代国家的人们降低心血管疾病的发生率。来自人体和动物研究的数据表明，食用初榨橄榄油具有地中海饮食的大部分有益作用。初榨橄榄油是唯一可作为天然水果产品食用且无添加剂或防腐剂的食用脂肪，并且含有一组独特的生物活性成分，即油酸和微量成分。在本综述中，我们总结了关于初榨橄榄油对高血压影响的已知情况。
