To determine whether a smartphone application based education programme can lower salt intake in schoolchildren and their families.Parallel, cluster randomised controlled trial, with schools randomly assigned to either intervention or control group (1:1).54 primary from three provinces northern, central, southern China, 15 September 2018 27 December 2019.592 children (308 (52.0%) boys; mean age 8.58 (standard deviation 0.41) years) grade 3 of school (about 11 per school) 1184 adult family...
This study aimed to assess current level of sodium and potassium intake their associations with blood pressure (BP) using the 24-hour urinary data in a large sample China. Data from participants aged 18 75 years were collected as baseline survey Action on Salt China 2018. Of 5454 adults, 5353 completed urine collection. The average sodium, excretion, sodium-to-potassium molar ratio 4318.1±1814.1 mg/d (equivalent 11.0±4.6 g/d salt), 1573.7±627.1 mg/d, 5.0±2.1, respectively. After adjusting...
High-salt diet is an important risk factor for several non-communicable diseases. School-based health education has been found effective in reducing salt intake among children and their families China. However, no such interventions have scaled up the real world. For this purpose, a study was launched to support development scale-up of mHealth-based system (EduSaltS) that integrated routine reduction delivered through primary schools. This aims elaborate framework, process, features,...
Introduction Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) have become the leading public health problems worldwide and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) is one of major NCDs. Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs) in Nepal are key drivers to implementing frontline services. We explored potential for engaging FCHVs CVD risk screening at community level Nepal. Methods used multiple approaches (quantitative qualitative) data collection. The trained administered questionnaire among 491 adults rural urban...
Salt reduction is a cost-effective, and rather challenging public health strategy for controlling chronic diseases. The AppSalt program school-based multi-component mobile (mhealth) salt designed to tackle the high intake in China. This mixed-methods process evaluation was conducted investigate implementation of this across sites, identify factors associated with implementation, collect evidence optimize intervention design future scale-up.Mixed methods were used sequentially data regarding...
This cross-sectional study aimed to assess 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion in children the relationships with their family excretion. Using baseline data of a randomized trial conducted three cities China 2018, total 590 (mean age 8.6 ± 0.4 years) 1180 adults 45.8 12.9 from 592 families had one or two complete urine collections. The average sodium, sodium-to-potassium molar ratio were 2180.9 787.1 mg/d (equivalent 5.5 2.0 g/d salt), 955.6 310.1 4.2 1.7 respectively, 77.1%...
Complex interventions are needed to effectively tackle non-communicable diseases. However, complex can contain a mix of effective and ineffective actions. Process evaluation (PE) in public health research is great value as it could clarify the mechanisms contextual factors associ-ated with variation outcomes, better identify components, inform adaptation intervention. The aim this paper demonstrate PE through five case studies that span cycle. interven-tions include using digital health,...
The app-based salt reduction intervention program in school children and their families (AppSalt) is a multicomponent mobile health (mHealth) program, which involves multiple stakeholders, including students, parents, teachers, heads, local education authorities. complexity of the AppSalt highlights need for process evaluation to investigate how implementation will be achieved at different sites.This paper presents protocol aims monitor explain its causal mechanisms, provide evidence scaling...
Mixed evidence was published regarding the association of sodium, potassium and sodium-to-potassium ratio (Na/K ratio) with renal function impairment. This study conducted to further explore relationship between potassium, NA/K kidney in general adult Chinese population. We performed a cross-sectional analysis using baseline data from Action on Salt China (ASC) study. 5185 eligible participants investigation ASC were included this analysis. Sodium, albumin excretion examined 24-h urine...

Objective: Dietary salt intake is a major risk factor for high blood pressure. It extremely challenging to reduce in China, with about 80% being added by the consumers. In recognition this challenge, an innovated reduction intervention package (AppSalt) based on smartphone application functional modules of education, evaluation, target setting and monitoring, decision support management, was developed applied among school children their family members. Process evaluations are crucial...
