Knowledge about sodium and salt substitute
Time Frame: 5 years
|
Knowledge about sodium and salt substitute will be measured using the following questions at baseline and follow-up:. Is a high salt intake good for your health? Does how much salt you eat affect your blood pressure? Does how much salt you eat affect your risk of stroke? What is the daily recommended salt intake for adults? Do you try to reduce the amount of salt you eat? Do you eat pickled vegetables most days? Do you add salt to most meals? Do you add mono-sodium glutamate to most meals? Do you try to eat less of a food if it is very salty? Have you heard about low sodium salt? If yes,does your household use low-sodium salt? |
