An agent for reducing risk in onset of diseases ascribable to non-dipping circadian profile of blood pressure is provided. This agent is capable of effectively lowering SBP from night to early morning in individuals with non-dipping circadian profile of blood pressure, in particular, normal individuals with normal SBP and DBP among them, and is thus capable of reducing risk in onset, particularly likely in the morning, of diseases caused by circadian variation of blood pressure. The agent is intended for administration to such subjects, and contains a hydrolysate or a concentrate thereof, containing Val-Pro-Pro and Ile-Pro-Pro and obtained by hydrolysis of animal milk protein. Reduction of risk may be expected in onset, particularly likely in the morning, of various diseases caused by risk of circadian variation of blood pressure, such as cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction,myocardialischemia, atherosclerosis, cardiac failure, cerebral stroke, coronary artery diseases, and peripheral vascular diseases.
