Food Frequency Questionnaire to Assess Sodium Intake

Development and Validation of a Food Frequency Questionnaire to Assess Sodium Intake in Hospitalized Patients or in Medical Consultation


Sponsor

University Hospital, Lille

Enrollment

99 participants

Start Date

Jun 6, 2023

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

EvalSel can precisely assess the salt intake of hospitalized patients in nephrology and cardiology or in medical consultation. It can determine salt consumption to the nearest gram. The objectives of this food frequency questionnaire are to arrive at a precise dietary diagnosis and to quickly identify the dietary errors made by the patients. EvalSel is useful for doctors to quickly obtain an assessment of the salt consumption of their patients, so they can refer them to dietitians if necessary. It can be used on the day of admission to hospital or during medical follow-ups to know the evolution of their consumption over the long term and improve their care.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether a dietary questionnaire (a food frequency questionnaire, or FFQ) can accurately measure how much sodium (salt) people eat, compared to measuring sodium in a 24-hour urine sample. The goal is to find a simpler, non-invasive way to monitor salt intake in patients with high blood pressure or kidney disease. **You may be eligible if...** - You are 18 or older - You have high blood pressure, chronic kidney disease (stages 4–5), or are generally healthy - You are seen in a nephrology or cardiology clinic, or recruited through a clinical investigation center - You have health insurance and are willing to participate fully **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have conditions causing abnormal salt loss (severe vomiting, diarrhea, or intense sweating within 3 days before urine collection) - Your treatment plan is being changed during the study period - You take certain medications (effervescent drugs, Gaviscon, Tolvaptan, or new/unstable diuretics) around the urine collection day - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You are protected by special legal status Talk to your doctor to see if this study is right for you.
