Lifestyle Changes in Patients With Type 2 DM and Hypertension: DASH Diet and Exercise Effects

Data obtained in hypertensive patients without diabetes suggest that increased association of non-pharmacological treatment in patients with diabetes and hypertension may be associated with an improvement in blood pressure control. Despite the beneficial results found, is not yet known the magnitude of the effect of a DASH diet associated with the stimulus of physical activity on BP in patients with type 2 diabetes. The beneficial effects on blood pressure of an additional non-pharmacological intervention to drug therapy may have an even greater impact in patients with treatment-resistant hypertension The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of changes in lifestyle on blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension resistant to treatment.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of changes in lifestyle on blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Secondary objectives are: Assess whether the prescription of a DASH-type diet and encouragement for physical activity through use of pedometers, can improve blood pressure control in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension resistant to treatment.

Forty type 2 diabetic with resistant hypertension outpatients were included in a randomized clinical trial: treatment 1- DASH diet + encouragement for physical activity through use of pedometer; treatment 2- ADA diet + usual exercises. The duration of each treatment are four weeks. The patients included should have performed Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) to exclude white-coat effect, ie when there are abnormal in the measurement of office blood pressure (equal to or above 140/90 mm Hg) and normal blood pressure by ABPM during the awake period (equal to or below 135/85 mm Hg). Twenty-four hour records with concurrent 24h urinary collections (protein intake estimative), clinical and laboratory evaluation were performed at baseline and after 4 weeks. Serum fatty acids were measured in total lipids by gas chromatography.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available.

EXPERIMENTAL: DASH diet
DASH DIET + EXERCISE
Other: DASH diet plus exercise

DASH diet adapted to the usual diet of Brazilian type 2 diabetic patients = prescription of a normocaloric diet including fruits, vegetables, grain products, low fat dairy foods, legumes, without sugar, and with limited fat

Exercises: the recommended physical activity will consist of using a pedometer during the experimental period.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Blood Pressure at 4 weeks
Time Frame: 4 weeks
Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring (ABPM) at baseline and after 4 weeks
4 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
