Factors Affecting Salt Intake in Young Adults

Summary

High salt intake is one of the key risk factors for development of high blood pressure and one of the main contributors to cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality. Despite the efforts to reduce the intake of salt in the UK, current intake still exceeds the recommended values. It is evident that better understanding of this behaviour is necessary to be able to design more effective CVD prevention strategies. This study aims to explore the determinants of salt intake with the focus on genetics, salt taste perception and salt knowledge.
