Abstract Details

2015, MS, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences: Nutrition.
Diet has been shown to impact vascular structure and function in diverse populations3,4,9,16,17,18,21, however little is known about the impact of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) dietary pattern on the vasculature. The DASH dietary pattern is high in fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy foods, and whole grains and is low in red meat, fats and oils, and sweets. Recent research suggests that this dietary pattern may have beneficial effects on blood pressure, blood lipids and inflammation, which may in turn positively impact vascular structure and function. The present study is a cross-sectional secondary data analysis from a study originally designed to examine the effects of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) on vascular health. Specifically, this study examined the association between DASH dietary adherence as measured by 3-day dietary recall and calculated DASH score index and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT), augmentation index (AI), pulse wave velocity (PWV) , and brachial distensibility (BrachD) in young adults with T2DM. The participants were diagnosed with T2DM with an average disease duration of 8 years and had, on average, poorly controlled blood glucose and low DASH dietary adherence. There were no significant associations between DASH dietary adherence and vascular structure and function measurements in this population of young adults with T2DM. This finding suggests that cardiovascular benefits of the DASH diet appear to be independent of peripheral mechanisms in young adults with T2DM.
