Study Summary
Excessive dietary sodium intake is an independent risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease. A vast array of efforts have tried to reduce sodium consumption based on evidence indicating a public health benefit. Yet this benefit has been questioned, mainly based on studies showing variability in individual responses to a sodium-restricted diet (SRD). The effects of an SRD on blood pressure vary, and adherence to an SRD is not optimal. The original Sodium Watchers Program (R01NR012967) was developed and implemented by Dr. Misook Chung (University of Kentucky). In this pilot study, the modified Sodium Watchers Program will propose improving adherence to an SRD through education and digital self-monitoring for daily sodium intake and blood pressure. In addition, few studies have examined individuals' metabolic responses to the SRD. In a secondary analysis, we further will examine genetic variants associated with salt sensitivity and whether such a genetic component is associated with sodium excretion and BP control. A total of 40 hypertensive patients will be randomly assigned to the intervention (n=20) or control group (n=20). The intervention group will receive 8-week education sessions remotely using a video conferencing program. All participants will collect a 24-hour urine specimen for sodium excretion and a total of 4.0ml of peripheral blood will be drawn for salt sensitivity during baseline visit. All participants will be asked to log their activities in real-time, including food intake and in-home BP monitoring using Fitbit and accompanied mobile app and BP monitor.
