Salt substitutes with reduced sodium levels and increased potassium have been shown to lower blood pressure, but their effects on cardiovascular safety outcomes are uncertain.
Background: SSaSS (Salt Substitute and Stroke Study), a 5-year cluster randomized controlled trial, demonstrated that replacing regular salt with reduced-sodium, added-potassium substitute reduced the risks of stroke, major adverse cardiovascular events, premature death among individuals previous stroke or uncontrolled high blood pressure living in rural China. This study assessed cost-effectiveness profile intervention. Methods: A within-trial economic evaluation was conducted from...
Objectives To evaluate the effects of a low-sodium and high-potassium salt-substitute on lowering blood pressure (BP) among Tibetans living at high altitude (4300 meters). Method The study was patient-blinded randomized controlled trial conducted between February May 2009 in Dangxiong County, Tibetan Autonomous Region, China. A total 282 aged 40 or older with known hypertension (systolic BP≥140 mmHg) were recruited to intervention (salt-substitute, 65% sodium chloride, 25% potassium chloride...
Background: The SSaSS (Salt Substitute and Stroke Study) recently reported definitive effects of a potassium-enriched salt on cardiovascular outcomes death. Quantifying the amount used by trial participants is important for understanding magnitude effect risk reduction how population-wide scale-up might be achieved. Methods: Baseline annual 24-hour urine samples were collected from subgroups in throughout 5-year follow-up. mean difference potassium excretion between 2 groups was to estimate...
Importance Influenza vaccination rates remain low among primary school students and vary by in Beijing, China. Theory-informed, multifaceted strategies are needed to improve influenza uptake. Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of improving uptake students. Design, Setting, Participants This cluster randomized trial was conducted from September 2022 May 2023 across schools Schools were allocated randomly a 1:1 ratio or usual practice. deemed eligible if 2019 2020 season fell at below...
Background: 24-h urine collection is regarded as the "gold standard" for monitoring sodium intake at population level, but ensuring high quality samples difficult to achieve. The Kawasaki, International Study of Sodium, Potassium, and Blood Pressure (INTERSALT) Tanaka methods have been used estimate urinary excretion from spot in some countries, few studies performed compare validate these Chinese population. Objective: To INTERSALT formulas predicting using 365 high-risk elder patients...
Abstract Background Cancer is a major public health issue worldwide. The cost of cancer care imposes substantial economic burden on society and patient, but it has not been thoroughly studied in China. This study aimed to describe direct elements all types by different beneficial characteristics. Methods research was retrospective observational based inpatient outpatient records with primary diagnosis from 31 hospitals 2016. Total per time were analyzed type, sources (prescription medicines,...
BACKGROUND: The SSaSS (Salt Substitute and Stroke Study) has shown that use of a potassium-enriched salt lowers the risk stroke, total cardiovascular events, premature death. effects on cause-specific cardiac outcomes are reported here. METHODS: was an unblinded, cluster-randomised trial assessing compared with regular among 20 995 Chinese adults established stroke older age uncontrolled hypertension. Post hoc efficacy analyses were performed using intention-to-treat method hierarchical...
The capacity of spot urine samples for detecting changes in population sodium and potassium excretion is unclear. Changes urinary excretion, over a 6-month to 2-year interval, were measured from 24-h estimated using several published methods 3270 Chinese. Additional estimates made by multiplying individual concentrations single volume derived external data. difference between intervention control groups was -0.35 g (95% CI: -0.68 -0.02; P = 0.039) 0.66 0.52 0.80; < 0.001) potassium, based...
The warning label is identified as a simple front-of-package labeling format that assists consumers in making healthier food choices at the point of purchase. color and/or shape design elements packaging labels can influence understanding and purchase intention outcomes. This study aimed to explore perceptions regarding differently designed (WLs) identify possibly suitable Chinese context. Using qualitative approach, we collected data through 12 focus group discussions consisting 116...
<h3>Importance</h3> Lowering sodium intake reduces blood pressure and may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The use reduced-sodium salt (a substitute) achieve reduction, but its effectiveness be associated with context use. <h3>Objective</h3> To identify factors substitutes in rural populations China within Salt Substitute Stroke Study, a large-scale cluster randomized trial. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> This sequential mixed-methods qualitative evaluation, conducted from...
The World Health Organisation (WHO) accepted the Integrated People-centred Services (IPCHS) framework in 2016 as an essential component for achieving universal health coverage fragmented systems. We aimed to examine empirical applications of WHO IPCHS guide its use strengthening health-service research.
Abstract Aim Both excessive intake of sodium and inadequate potassium are associated with blood pressure elevation subsequent increase in the risk cardiovascular disease, which accounts for largest number deaths China worldwide. Low salt, a mixture mainly chloride chloride, has shown its great potential as promising population strategy reduction through multiple large‐scale, multicenter, randomized controlled trials among populations including patients individuals without hypertension, older...
This study aims to understand the current ST elevated myocardial infarction (STEMI) treatment process in Guangdong Province and explore patient-level system-level barriers associated with delay STEMI treatment, so as provide recommendations for improvement.This is a qualitative study. Data were collected using semistructured, face-to-face individual interviews from April 2018 January 2019. Participants included patients STEMI, cardiologists nurses hospitals, emergency department doctors,...
In China, family caregivers play a major role in caring for people living with Alzheimer's disease (PLWAD), but little is known about the burden this creates.This study aimed to investigate among of PLWAD and factors influenced it.Family were recruited from hospital China January 2018 July 2018. All data collected online using Chinese version Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI), participants' sociodemographic caregiving details obtained. T-tests Kruskal-Wallis H (K) tests used compare ZBI scores...
Widespread use of reduced-sodium salts can potentially lower excessive population-level dietary sodium intake. This study aimed to identify key barriers and facilitators implementing salt as a population level intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with informants from academia, the manufacturing industry, government. We used reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance (RE-AIM) framework inform our interview guides data analysis. Eighteen nine countries...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Stroke has been the leading cause of death in China and contributed almost one-third to stroke deaths worldwide. The rising cost treatment is great concern, but not thoroughly studied. This study aimed analyze in-hospital charges by subtypes, age, sex investigate potential factors associated with per stay. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> research was a retrospective observational based on patients primary diagnosis from 31...
To reduce excess dietary sodium consumption, Nigeria's 2019 National Multi-sectoral Action Plan (NMSAP) for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases includes policies based on World Health Organization SHAKE package. Priority actions strategies include mandatory limits in processed foods, advertising restrictions, mass-media campaigns, school-based interventions, improved front-of-package labeling. We conducted a formative qualitative evaluation stakeholders' knowledge,...
