Diet plays a major role in development of Metabolic Syndrome. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the association of less processed and ready to eat foods on Blood pressure values in women with Metabolic Syndrome risk factors. Design: This study was conducted as a part of Ph.D. Study. General dietary intake was analyzed in a study of 207 women aged 20-70 years. Attending diagnostic centre for their general check up. Interested 80 women participants were screened for further intervention after signing concern form from each participant. Anthropometric and blood pressure measurements were performed and other bio chemical parameters were analysed. The metabolic syndrome was defined according to International Diabetic Federation (IDF). Result: Out of 80 participants, 70 participants completed the 6 week nutritional intervention program. They were grouped in to control group and experimental group. And the experimental group had shown significant change in Systolic blood pressure (Baseline 127.3±9.324) after 6 week: 118.11±8.445) at p=0.05 level. And also Diastolic blood pressure ((Baseline 85.14±7.311) after 6 week: 78.38±6.877) at p=0.05 level. They were also showing significant change in Body weight, BMI, and WC. Conclusion: Dietary changes from processed foods/Ready to eat convenient foods to whole grain base diet consumption significantly associates with Metabolic Syndrome Risk factors.
