Methods of the Chample Study
• Subjects :American residents in Okinawa aged
40 to 69 years (n=138; 50.0±7.2 years old, 51
men and 87 women). White: 85%, African
American:10%, Others:5%.
90% of subjects completed in the trial.
• Study design: Randomized cross-over design.
• Diets: Single-portion takeout meals common in
Japanese cuisine (bento) were provided. A four-
day supply of lunch and dinner bento was
delivered once a week. For two weeks, the
subjects were fed a typical Western style diet
then randomly assigned to receive four weeks of
traditional Okinawa diet, which is rich in green
leafy and yellow root vegetables, and low in
sodium, saturated, trans, and total fat.

Conclusion
• The traditional Okinawa diet, although
unique in culinary approach, has similar
composition of nutrients and food groups
to the DASH diet and seems to achieve
similar results. Americans subjects have a
good reputation of Okinawan Bento
diet( 71% of subjects would like to
purchase the delivered BENTO).
• The Okinawa diet offers a new, Asian
dietary approach to preventing and
treating hypertension.
