Summary

A strong and well-known association exists between salt consumption, potassium intake, and cardiovascular diseases. MINISAL-SIIA results showed high salt and low potassium consumption in Italian hypertensive patients. In addition, a recent Italian survey showed that the degree of knowledge and behavior about salt was directly interrelated, suggesting a key role of the educational approach. Therefore, the present study will aim to evaluate the efficacy of a short-time dietary educational intervention (MINIMAL-ADVICE) on sodium and potassium intake in hypertensive patients.

Experimental dietary educational intervention

At the end of the baseline examination, the Experimental group received a brief dietary education on the health damage due to excess salt consumption and on behavioural methods to gradually reduce dietary intake, for example at home, reduce the consumption of processed foods, do not bring salt shaker on the table, limit the use of condiments with a high sodium content; out of home, both when eating and when shopping, reduce the consumption of processed foods, check nutritional labels and choose products with lower salt content. In addition, written information was provided. All participants will be clinically followed every month, with potential titration of the antihypertensive therapy. After 3 months of follow-up, the baseline measurements will be carried out again. During the entire study period, subjects will be asked to maintain their lifestyle and report using additional medications.
