Dietary factors mediate racial disparities in hypertension. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying this relationship are incompletely understood. We sought to assess the association between 1-methylhistidine (1-MH), a metabolite marker of animal protein consumption, and blood pressure (BP) in a community-based cohort of black and white middle-aged adults.
