Community education for cardiovascular disease prevention
OBJECTIVES. The Minnesota Heart Health Program is a 13-year research and demonstration project to reduce morbidity and mortality from coronary heart disease in whole communities. METHODS. Three pairs of communities were matched on size and type; each pair had one education site and one comparison site. After baseline surveys, a 5- to 6-year program of mass media, community organization, and direct education for risk reduction was begun in the edu…
Low-sodium, high-potassium diet
Sixty-nine normotensive volunteers participated in an eight-week study to test the feasibility and acceptability of two low-sodium (less than 70 mEq), high-potassium (greater than 100 mEq) diets. The diet groups differed only in the use of KCl salt substitute. Both dietary groups were able to reduce sodium and increase potassium intake compared to the control group. Urine sodium excretion decreased in the diet groups but no change was observed in…
Weight and sodium reduction for the prevention of hypertension
Ninety-three overweight adult males with labile blood pressure elevation participated in a 20-week dietary intervention program to achieve a 10 per cent reduction in body weight and a reduction in dietary sodium intake to 70 milliequivalents per day. By random assignment, half were treated with intensive group treatment procedures and half with individual counseling. Written handouts and assignments were identical, as was the schedule of treatmen…
