The Claim
In rural Chinese adult males, total carbohydrate consumption is not significantly associated with systolic or diastolic blood pressure across any quantile of the blood pressure distribution, even after adjusting for age, body mass index, sodium intake, and other lifestyle and dietary factors.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating more or less carbs doesn’t seem to affect blood pressure in adult men living in rural China, no matter their age, weight, salt intake, or other habits.
See the scientific wording
In rural Chinese adult males, total carbohydrate consumption shows no statistically significant association with systolic or diastolic blood pressure across any quantile of the blood pressure distribution, even after adjusting for age, BMI, sodium intake, and other lifestyle and dietary factors.
