Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This single blinded, cluster randomized trial investigated the effects of a self-monitoring device on salt reduction. Participants in both groups attended lectures about salt reduction, but only the intervention group used the device. The main outcome measure was the difference in the estimated daily salt intake between the two groups after 4 weeks. The secondary outcome was the difference in blood pressure. A total of 105 families (158 participants) were randomized. The mean difference between the two groups was -0.50 g/day (95% confidence interval (CI) -0.95, -0.05; P = 0.030). The mean difference in systolic blood pressure was -4.4 mm Hg (95% CI -8.7, -0.1; P = 0.044). This is the first randomized controlled trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of the device.
