Salt Consumption After the Administration of Rapid Questionnaire (MINISAL-SIIA STUDY)

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.
