Con la intención de observar la posible diferencia en las cifras de Presión Sanguínea (PS) de individuos vegetarianos (V) y no vegetarianos (NV), se midió la Presión Sanguínea Sistólica (PSS) y Diastólica (PSD) en el grupo V y NV, se evaluó el consumo de kilocalorías, proteína, grasa, carbohidratos, fibra, colesterol, calcio, magnesio, potasio y sodio y por último se estableció la posible relación de éstos con la PS. Se hicieron mediciones de PS durante tres días a 64 individuos (32 V Y32 NV) Y se registró el consumo de nutrientes de 24 horas. Los V mostraron un mayor consumo de fibra, calcio, potasio, magnesio y carbohidrato s y los NV un mayor consumo de kilocalorías, proteína, grasa, sodio y colesterol. La grasa estuvo intensamente relacionada con la PSS, mientras que las kilocalorías, el potasio y el calcio estuvieron fuertemente relacionados con la PSD. Se puede afirmar con base en lo anterior, que la dieta vegetariana se relaciona con menores cifras de PS tanto sistólica como diastólica en comparación con la dieta no vegetariana; lo cual sería de gran utilidad en el tratamiento de pacientes hipertensos, y en la prevención de enfermedades cardiovasculares.
The principal objective of this study was to establish the tendencies of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in vegetarians (V) and non vegetarians (NV), and to determine the kilocalories, protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber, cholesterol, magnesium, calcium, potassium and sodium intakes. Finally we tried to establish the possible relationship of these intakes with blood pressure (BP). BP determinations were performed during three days in 32 V (11 women and 21 men) and 32 NV (16 women and 16 men), simultaneously, we registered the intake of nutrients within 24 hours. As compared with the NV group, the V group showed high intakes of fiber, calcium, potassium, magnesium and carbohydrates, while the NV group showed high intakes of kilocalories, protein, fat, sodium and cholesterol J. Fat consumption was strongly related with SBP, while kilocalories, potassium and calcium intakes were strongly related with DBP. It can be affirmed, based in the above data that vegetarian diet is related with lower systolic and diastolic BP. These results have immediate consequences of great utility in the treatment of hypertensive patients and the prevention of cardiovascular disease.
