Table 2 Anthropometrics and Blood Pressure. Body mass, systolic blood pressure (BP), diastolic blood pressure and waist circumference (WC) of subjects consuming raisins (RAISIN), increasing walking (WALK) or both (RAISIN + WALK)1.

From: Raisins and additional walking have distinct effects on plasma lipids and inflammatory cytokines
