Nutritional strategies, particularly increased fruit consumption, are being explored as non\u2010pharmacological means of regulating blood pressure (BP). Kiwifruit, a fruit high in potassium and antioxidant compounds, has been proposed to exert antihypertensive effects; however, findings from individual studies have been inconclusive.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Aim<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This meta\u2010analysis assesses the impact of kiwifruit consumption on BP in adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A comprehensive search of online databases was conducted up to May 2026 to identify relevant randomized controlled trials (RCTs).

Subgroup analysis showed that kiwifruit consumption significantly reduced BP, particularly among individuals with normal BMI, those receiving higher doses (3\/day), and male participants. The effect was more pronounced for those with elevated baseline BP and in shorter trials (\u2264\u20098 weeks). Significant differences were observed between subgroups in terms of dose and BMI.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Kiwifruit consumption may contribute to BP reduction as a dietary intervention, particularly among individuals with elevated blood pressure and normal BMI.
