Salt substitute for preventing high blood pressure in households
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether replacing regular salt with a special salt substitute can help control or prevent high blood pressure. Households with at least one person with high blood pressure and one person without it may join, and all members who share meals need to take part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your household must include at least one adult (18 or older) with high blood pressure and one adult without high blood pressure.
- Everyone in the household who shares meals must agree to use the study salt for cooking and eating.
- You must be 18 or older, live in the area long-term, and not plan to move within the next year.
- You must eat most of your meals at home.
- You cannot already be using a low-sodium or potassium-based salt substitute regularly.
- No one in the household who shares meals can be pregnant, have kidney disease, a history of high potassium, or hyperthyroidism.
