Parkinson's patients on DASH diet show lower heart risk markers
NCT ID NCT07402993
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 70 people with Parkinson's disease to see if following the DASH diet (a heart-healthy eating plan) was linked to better heart health. Researchers measured blood fats, inflammation, and other risk markers. They found that those who followed the DASH diet more closely had lower triglycerides and a lower atherogenic index, suggesting a possible heart benefit.
