Behavioral changes through technology-supported interventions could help reduce sodium intake and positively impact health.
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanMar 20 2024Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the journal NPJ Digital Medicine, researchers conducted a review and meta-analysis to determine if behavioral changes through technology-supported interventions could help reduce sodium intake and positively impact health.
Studies show that the average sodium consumption among most adults is between 3.5 gm and 5.5 gm a day, significantly increasing the risk of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, disability, and death. About the study In the present study, the researchers conducted a systematic review of randomized control trials that evaluated the effectiveness of technology-based interventions in producing behavioral change for lowering sodium intake and changing systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Data extracted from the studies consisted of sample size, the health status of the participants, the proportion of female participants, the intervention setting, the mean age of the study population, duration of follow-up, type of technology used, delivery mode of intervention, and whether the study was completely or partially technology supported.
Some of the behavior change techniques that were frequently used were also included in the subgroup analyses.
