Household barriers and facilitators to healthy eating in a U.S. census-representative sample of the general population and a low-income sample
Introduction The present study aimed to quantify differences in barriers and facilitators to healthy eating experienced in a U.S. census-representative sample of the general population and a sample of low-income individuals. Methods A cross-sectional survey was administered to U.S. adults. Barriers and facilitators to healthy eating were assessed with survey questions pertaining to important and influential attributes for food purchasing, attitud…
Can methods based on spot urine samples be used to estimate average population 24 h sodium excretion? Results from the Isfahan Salt Study
Objective: To assess agreement between established methods of estimating salt intake from spot urine collections and 24 h urinary Na (24hUNa) and then to develop a valid formula that can be used in the Iranian population to estimate salt intake from spot urine samples. Design: A validation study. Three spot urine samples were collected (fasting second-void morning; afternoon; evening) on the same day as a 24 h urine collection. We estimated 24hUN…
The effect of nuts on markers of glycemic control
Effects of health star labelling on the healthiness of adults' fast food meal selections
Sodium and potassium content of 24 h urinary collections
Objective Measurement of mean population Na and K intakes typically uses laboratory-based assays, which can add significant logistical burden and costs. A valid field-based measurement method would be a significant advance. In the current study, we used 24 h urine samples to compare estimates of Na, K and Na:K ratio based upon assays done using the field-based Horiba twin meter v . laboratory-based methods. Design The performance of the Horiba tw…
Dietary salt intake in the Australian population
Objective To update the estimate of mean salt intake for the Australian population made by the Australian Health Survey (AHS). Design A secondary analysis of the data collected in a cross-sectional survey was conducted. Estimates of salt intake were made in Lithgow using the 24 h diet recall methodology employed by the AHS as well as using 24 h urine collections. The data from the Lithgow sample were age- and sex-weighted, to provide estimates of…
A comparison of the Health Star Rating system when used for restaurant fast foods and packaged foods
These data support the idea that the HSR system could be extended to Australian fast foods. There are likely to be significant benefits to the community from the use of a single standardised signposting system for healthiness across all fresh, packaged and restaurant foods
Attitudes and beliefs of health risks associated with sodium intake in diabetes
Food label education does not reduce sodium intake in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A randomised controlled trial
