Eating frequency predicts new onset hypertension and the rate of progression of blood pressure, arterial stiffness, and wave reflections

Background: Cross-sectional evidence indicates that eating frequency correlates with blood pressure, hypertension, and related target organ damage. The aim of the present study was to prospectively assess eating frequency as a predictor of arteriosclerosis progression and new onset hypertension over a follow-up period of 5 years in adults without cardiovascular disease. Methods: Eating frequency among other dietary parameters was evaluated in...
