Nutrients and Foods Recommended for Blood Pressure Control on Twitter in Japan: Content Analysis

Nutrients and Foods Recommended for Blood Pressure Control on Twitter in Japan: Content Analysis

Of the total tweets analyzed, 1301 (55.4%) referred to salt. These tweets included 2 opposing views on reducing salt intake in hypertension control. The “prosalt reduction theme” recommended reducing salt intake for hypertension control, while the “antisalt reduction theme” claimed that reducing salt intake was not related to higher blood pressure or that consuming salt was beneficial for lowering blood pressure.

Effectiveness of a Sodium-Reduction Smartphone App and Reduced-Sodium Salt to Lower Sodium Intake in Adults With Hypertension: Findings From the Salt Alternatives Randomized Controlled Trial

Effectiveness of a Sodium-Reduction Smartphone App and Reduced-Sodium Salt to Lower Sodium Intake in Adults With Hypertension: Findings From the Salt Alternatives Randomized Controlled Trial

Intervention households in the pilot trial (n=33) purchased significantly less salt from packaged foods (mean 0.3, 95% CI 0.58-0.03 g/MJ) than control households (n=33), supporting a larger trial of the Salt Switch app with longer-term follow-up (ACTRN12614000206628) [15]. However, Salt Switch does not address discretionary salt.

Examining the Individual Response to a Low-Sodium Diet in Patients with Hypertension: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Examining the Individual Response to a Low-Sodium Diet in Patients with Hypertension: Protocol for a Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Salt sensitivity (SS) as a preceding factor for individual BP response to a low-sodium diet can be tested with a genetic approach. SS is influenced by many factors, including genetics, age, gender, race or ethnicity, BMI, and diet [20,21]. The most robust method for assessing SS is through modifying dietary sodium intake using a crossover study design where a 5-7–day intervention period is given for a normal, low, and high dietary sodium intake level [22,23].

Availability, Formulation, Labeling, and Price of Low-sodium Salt Worldwide: Environmental Scan

Availability, Formulation, Labeling, and Price of Low-sodium Salt Worldwide: Environmental Scan

Low-sodium salts were defined as table salt or cooking salt that replaced sodium chloride content with other minerals such as potassium chloride or magnesium sulphate. The sodium content and terminology for low-sodium salts can vary. For example, in some cases, the term salt substitute is used as a synonym for low-sodium salt. In this study, we use the term low-sodium salts as a category, including both sodium-reduced and sodium-free salts.
