| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The salt intake of the Japanese people is higher than that of people living in other countries. Moreover, this excessive salt intake has not changed over time. This fact shows the limitations of the “instructional” salt intake reduction education using carried out until now. The aim of this study was to establish an “experience-based” salt intake reduction education, which can be realized through the self-management of the daily salt intake, by having each individual become aware of his or her own salt intake. In conclusion, a self-monitoring device is easy to use and in the same time convenient for understanding the daily salt intake/excretion of each individual and for thinking about the dietary constituents. Furthermore, is was showed that the “experience-based” salt intake management is useful for decreasing the salt intake.
