Groene thee verlaagt de bloeddruk en het LDL-cholesterolgehalte

Research Question:
Drinking green tea lowers blood pressure and cholesterol levels?

Study Design:
This overview article contained 20 Rcts with 1536 participants.

Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that drinking green tea mmHg systolic blood pressure significantly with 1.94 [95% CI =-2.95 to-0.93, p = 0.0002, I2 = 8%] reduced.

The researchers found that drinking green tea total cholesterol significantly with 0.13 mmol/L [95% CI =-0.2 to-0.07, p = 0.0001, 8% I2 ] reduced.

The researchers found that drinking green tea the LDL cholesterol levels significantly with 0.19 mmol/L [95% CI =-0.3 to-0.09, p = 70%, I2 0.0004] reduced.

The researchers concluded that drinking green tea the systolic blood pressure (systolic blood pressure) and cholesterol levels (total and LDL) reduced.
