Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: (Study design) We will include randomized and quasi randomized and non-randomized controlled trials, randomized crossover trials, cohort studies, and case-control studies. We will include scientific papers and reports which give us enough research details. (PICO) Participant: We will include people not suffering from any diseases and also include grade I hypertensive people as an exception. We will exclude minors, pregnant women, those planning a pregnancy, and lactating women. Intervention: We define oral intake of test food containing GABA as an intervention. Comparison: We define oral intake of test food not containing GABA or maintaining daily life as controls. Outcome measurement: We will evaluate systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. (PECO) Participant: We will include people not suffering from any diseases and also include grade I hypertensive people as an exception. We will exclude minors, pregnant women, those planning a pregnancy, and lactating women. Exposure: We define oral intake of food containing GABA as an exposure. Comparison: We define eating no food containing GABA as non-exposure. If subgroup analysis of GABA intake amount has been conducted in a study, we define the least intake group as a non-exposure group. Outcome measurement: We will evaluate systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure. (Language) Eligibility is not restricted by language.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: We will exclude cross-sectional studies because it will be difficult to interpret causal relationships between exposure and outcome. We will also exclude proceedings and unpublished studies.
