Low-Sodium Diet

The Low-Sodium Diet is a dietary regimen that limits the intake of sodium-containing foods and additives.
This diet is often recommended for individuals with conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, or kidney disease, where reducing sodium consumption can help manage symptoms and improve overall health.
The goal of a low-sodium diet is to reduce the amount of sodium in the body, which can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications.
This diet typically involves limiting the consumption of processed foods, canned goods, and high-sodium seasonings, while focusing on fresh, whole foods that are naturally low in sodium.
Adherence to a low-sodium diet may require careful label reading, meal planning, and the use of salt substitutes or low-sodium alternatives.
Consulting with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian can help ensure the low-sodium diet is tailored to individual needs and provides the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
Researching low-sodium diet protocols and products can be facilitated by tools like PubCompare.ai, which can help identify the best approaches and products for improved reproducibility and accuuracy.

Evaluating Heart Failure Mobile Apps
Cited 14 times
We rated and ranked the apps based on 3 scores: (1) MARS quality score [26 (link)], (2) IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics functionality score [27 ], and (3) consistency with HFSA guideline recommendations [10 (link)] with an additional question related to the number of self-care behaviors that the apps addressed. The MARS was used to rate app quality and includes 3 sections and a modifiable app-specific section: classification, quality, and satisfaction [26 (link)]. The classification section provides descriptive information about the apps. The objective app quality section includes 19 items divided into 4 scales: engagement, functionality, aesthetics, and information quality. The subjective quality section contains 4 items evaluating the user’s overall satisfaction. MARS items are scored using a 5-point Likert scale (1-inadequate, 2-poor, 3-acceptable, 4-good, and 5-excellent). The final MARS scores include 4 subscale scores, a total mean score, subjective quality score, and an app-specific subscale that assesses perceived effect on the user’s knowledge, attitudes, and intentions to change as well as likelihood of changing the identified targeted behaviors.
The IMS functionality score is based on 7 functionality criteria and 4 functional subcategories as described in detail in the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics report [27 ] (Table 1). Each app was assessed for having or not having 11 functionalities and given a functionality score (0-11) [27 ].
Two functionality scores were used for this review because the functionality scores provide different types of information on app functionality. The MARS functionality score focuses on performance, ease of use, navigation, and gestural design of the app [26 (link)], whereas the IMS Institute for Healthcare Informatics functionality score focuses on scope of functions, including informing, instructing, recording, displaying, guiding, reminding, and communicating information [27 ].
Each of the apps was also evaluated for whether it included 8 specific self-care behaviors recommended by HFSA guidelines [10 (link)]. These behaviors included daily weighing, checking extremities for swelling, doing physical activity or exercise, eating a low-salt diet, taking daily medications, attending doctor’s appointments, daily monitoring of HF symptoms, and actively responding to symptoms when they change, consistent with HFSA nonpharmacologic guidelines [10 (link)].

Self-Care Maintenance and Management in Heart Failure
Cited 12 times
This was a secondary analysis of data from 629 adults with heart failure enrolled in three separate studies conducted in the northeastern and northwestern United States. In each study, self-care was measured using the Self-Care of HF Index (SCHFI) v.6.2, a 22-item instrument with three scales that measure the two components of HF self-care: maintenance and management, and confidence - a major influence on self-care (Riegel et al., 2004 (link); Riegel et al., 2009 (link)).
The self-care maintenance scale has 10 items that measure symptom monitoring and adherence to behaviors that are advocated in clinical guidelines (Yancy et al., 2013 (link)) to maintain patients in a stable state (e.g., monitoring weight, eating a low salt diet, exercising). The 6 items of the self-care management scale measure patients’ abilities to recognize symptoms when they occur, treatment implementation in response to symptoms (e.g., reduce fluid intake, take an extra water pill), and treatment evaluation. A self-care management scale score is calculated only in patients who have been recently symptomatic. The self-care confidence scale uses 6 items to evaluate patients’ perceived abilities to engage in each phase of the self-care process (e.g., preventing symptom onset, recognizing symptom changes).
Each scale uses a 4-point self-report response format (never or rarely, sometimes, frequently, always or daily). The Institutional Review Boards of each site approved the studies before data collection began, and all participants gave informed consent.

Comprehensive Health Behavior Assessment Protocol
Cited 12 times
To assess medication adherence, 3 items capture the number of days in the past week (0 through 7) that an individual: (1) takes BP medication, (2) takes it at the same time every day, and (3) takes the recommended dosage. Responses are summed and scores range from 0 to 21.
Practice of weight management activities is assessed with 10 items related to dietary practices such as cutting portion size and making food substitutions as well as exercising specifically to lose weight. Activities are assessed based on recall during the past 30 days. Response options use a 5‐point Likert scale from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (5), with scores ranging from 10 to 50.
Physical activity was assessed with 2 items. “How many of the past 7 days did you do at least 30 minutes total of physical activity?” and “How many of the past 7 days did you do a specific exercise activity (such as swimming, walking, or biking) other than what you do around the house or as part of your work?” Response options for both items are 0 to 7 days. Responses are summed (range, 0–14).
Smoking exposure is assessed with 2 items, “How many of the past 7 days did you smoke a cigarette or cigar, even just one puff?” and to assess passive smoking exposure “How many of the past 7 days did you stay in a room or ride in an enclosed vehicle while someone was smoking?” Response options for both items are 0 to 7 days. Responses are summed (range 0–14); higher scores indicate greater tobacco exposure.
Alcohol intake is assessed using an existing measure, the 3‐item, National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) Quantity and Frequency Questionnaire.24 For these analyses, we multiplied the item response to “On average, how many days per week do you drink alcohol?” by the response to “On a typical day that you drink alcohol, how many drinks do you have?” Responses ranged from 0 to 21.
Twelve items assess practices related to eating a healthy, low‐fat and low‐salt diet, similar to the DASH diet.25 Items inquire about avoiding salt while cooking and eating, avoiding foods high in salt content, avoiding fatty or fried foods, and eating recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. Response options range from 0 to 7 days. Nine items are negatively phrased and are reverse coded. For these analyses we summed the responses on all items to create a continuous variable, with a possible scoring range of 0 to 84. We further examined these items in 2 subsets: one containing only the salt‐related items and the other containing the healthy eating and fatty food items.

We used multiple methods to create a comprehensive pool of potential items for the HBP SCP. First, we searched the literature for current practice guidelines on HBP self-care.10 We also collected relevant items from educational materials such as pamphlets, brochures, and websites published by the Centers for Disease Prevention and Control, the American Heart Association, the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, and from existing validated HBP self-care instruments such as the Hill-Bone Adherence Scale20 (link) and Morisky Medication Scale.21 (link) The items for the HBP SCP encompassed self-care behaviors in the following areas which are crucial to control BP: medication taking and lifestyle factors such as physical activity, low-sodium and low-fat diet, restricting alcohol consumption, non-smoking, self-monitoring of BP, weight control, regular doctor visits, and stress reduction.5 (link),10 –15 (link) Subsequently, an expert panel (N = 12) of clinicians, researchers, and community health workers with extensive experience in HBP care rated each item for its relevance using a 4-point scale, with 1 being “not relevant” and 4 being “very relevant.”22 (link) A content validity index was calculated by the proportion of experts who gave an item a rating of 3 or 4. Items with at least 80% of endorsement rates were retained,22 (link) yielding 20 HBP self-care behavior items.

Comprehensive Heart Failure Education Program
Cited 6 times
Patients in the attention control group attended education sessions twice weekly (same duration and frequency as the tai chi group). Classes were led by a nurse practitioner and followed the content of the 11 Heart Failure Society of America education modules. An additional module on cholesterol was added, using patient information from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/public/heart/chol/hbc_what.htm). The 12 weekly modules (available at http://www.hfsa.org) included (1) taking control of your HF, (2) how to follow a low-sodium diet, (3) HF medicines, (4) self-care and dealing with HF symptoms, (5) exercise and activity, (6) managing feelings about HF, (7) tips for family and friends, (8) lifestyle changes, (9) advanced directives, (10) heart rhythm problems, (11) new HF treatments, and (12) high blood cholesterol levels. Each module consisted of a pamphlet that was distributed weekly and discussed during the 2 sessions conducted for each module. We asked participants not to start tai chi during the study period; however, they were offered the opportunity to take tai chi classes at the end of the 6-month follow-up period.

Heart Failure Self-care Assessment and Knowledge
HF Self-care Practice Assessment Questionnaire (HFSCPA-Q) adapted from Riegel et al. (2004) and Jaarsma et al. (2003) (link) was used to measure self-care practices. The domains were generated according to the four adaptive modes as described in RAM. These modes were classified into three themes: Self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management. Additionally, a table of specifications was created in order to ensure that all items were relevant to the research question. Multiple interviews were conducted with cardiologists, cardiology nurses, clinical resource nurses as well as patients, and the findings were used to revise and organize the items in a suitable sequence.
The Heart Failure Self-care Knowledge Assessment Questionnaire (HFSCKA-Q) was adapted from the Dutch Heart Failure Knowledge Scale (Van der Wal et al., 2005 (link)). Many questions were either reviewed or deleted after discussion with patients and experts in order to align with the conceptual framework of the study as well as the socio-cultural considerations of the country. The knowledge questionnaire composed of two sections: (1) demographic data sheet and (2) HF self-care knowledge. The following domains were included after a review of international and local guidelines: general information about HF; maintaining a low sodium diet; monitoring fluid intake and weight daily; medication compliance; exercise and activity; smoking cessation strategies and symptom recognition and management; social support.

Evaluating Malnutrition Risk in Inpatients
This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of the Helsinki Declaration. The protocol was approved by the Ethics Review Board of Ebetsu Tanifuji Hospital (Ethical Number R2-0910).
In our cross-sectional study, 109 patients were retrospectively examined by our hospital’s Nutrition Support Team (NST) for a duration of 33 months from July 2019 to April 2022. Of the original 109, 14 patients were excluded due to a lack of DXA data, yielding a final sample size of 95 patients. The NST consists of 10 members including medical doctors, registered nutritionists, nurses, laboratory technicians, pharmacists, speech therapists, physical trainers, and administrative staff. All patients gave informed consent, and the study has been approved by the hospital’s ethical council. Data from 95 patients were utilized to test for a correlation between physical parameters and the values obtained by DXA. The most common causes of admission were fractures of the extremities, fractures of the vertebrae, and pneumonia, as is summarized in Table 1.
The physical parameters of body weight (kg), height (cm), upper arm subcutaneous fat thickness (mm), and upper arm circumference (cm) were measured by a nutritionist using caliper tools. Biometric data were measured according to protocols from the National Institute for Health Research to minimize personal bias [4 ]. The general patient status was examined by the NST. All new inpatients were screened for signs of malnutrition such as recent weight loss, loss of appetite, and low serum sodium and albumin levels.

Effects of Low-Sodium Diet on Hypertension and Cardiac Hypertrophy in TASK−/− Mice
Wild-type C57BL/6 mice (TASK+/+ mice) were purchased from Beijing Vital River Laboratory Animal Technology (Beijing, China). PA model mice (TASK−/− mice) were kindly gifted by Dr. Douglas Bayliss from the University of Virginia (Davies et al., 2008 (link)). The animals were housed at the Laboratory Animal Center of Hebei Medical University and maintained on a 12-h light/dark cycle (7:00–19:00 light, 19:00–7:00 dark), with constant room temperature (22°C ± 1°C), and humidity (50% ± 10%) and free access to food and water.
To observe the effects of a low-sodium diet (LSD) on hypertension and myocardial hypertrophy in adult TASK−/− mice, 13-week-old male TASK+/+ and TASK−/− mice were divided into normal-sodium diet (NSD) and LSD groups, respectively (i.e., TASK+/+NSD, TASK+/+LSD, TASK−/−NSD, TASK−/−LSD). The basic BP, heart rate (HR) and LV structure and function parameters of each group were measured at 13 weeks of age, and the above cardiovascular parameters were measured again after 2 weeks of the LSD. To determine if an LSD could prevent the development of LV hypertrophy in TASK−/− mice, 4-week-old male TASK+/+ and TASK−/− mice were divided into four groups as well (TASK+/+NSD, TASK+/+LSD, TASK−/−NSD, and TASK−/−LSD groups). An LSD was given to TASK−/−LSD and TASK+/+LSD group mice at 4 weeks of age, and this lasted through the entire study period of 8 weeks until the mice were euthanized at 12 weeks of age. Mice in the TASK+/+NSD and TASK−/−NSD groups were fed an NSD. All animals underwent echocardiography at 4 weeks of age, and subsequently every 4 weeks thereafter, at which time the hearts were harvested for metabolomic analyses. The NSD contained 0.283% sodium, and the LSD contains 0.05% sodium (Davies et al., 2008 (link); Guagliardo et al., 2012 (link)). All experiments were conducted under the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals and were approved by the Animal Care and Ethical Committee of Hebei Medical University.

Intraindividual Response to Low-Sodium Diet
To examine the underlying mechanism of intraindividual response to a low-sodium diet, a randomized, controlled study will be conducted in a sample of 40 patients with hypertension aged >40 years. Children are thought to have minimal levels of high BP; therefore, we will only recruit adults. Participants will be asked to own their own smartphone for using mobile apps during the study. Our exclusion criteria are clinic BP of <140 mm Hg; estimated glomerular filtration rate of <15 mL/min/1.73 m2 or on dialysis; history of organ transplantation; cardiovascular event, procedure or hospitalization for unstable angina/chronic heart failure within last 6 months; life expectancy of <1 year or a cancer diagnosis and treatment within the past 1 year that, in the judgment of clinical study staff, would compromise participant’s ability to comply with the protocol and complete the trial; active alcohol or substance abuse within the last 12 months; residence in a nursing home; diagnosis of dementia, treatment with medications for dementia; and unwilling or unable to participate in either of the interventions.

More about "Low-Sodium Diet"

The Low-Sodium Diet, also known as a Sodium-Restricted Diet or Salt-Restricted Diet, is a dietary approach that aims to limit the intake of sodium-containing foods and additives.
This dietary regimen is often recommended for individuals with conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, or kidney disease, where reducing sodium consumption can help manage symptoms and improve overall health.
The primary goal of a low-sodium diet is to decrease the amount of sodium in the body, which can subsequently lower blood pressure and mitigate the risk of cardiovascular complications.
This diet typically involves limiting the consumption of processed foods, canned goods, and high-sodium seasonings, while emphasizing the intake of fresh, whole foods that are naturally low in sodium.
Adherence to a low-sodium diet may require careful label reading, meal planning, and the use of salt substitutes or low-sodium alternatives.
Consulting with a healthcare provider or registered dietitian can help ensure the low-sodium diet is tailored to individual needs and provides the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
