Sponsor

Singapore Institute of Food and Biotechnology Innovation

Enrollment

32 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This research aims to develop an evidence-based classification for sodium-rich condiments (natremic index) based on their CVD-related risks. It is hypothesised that the acute cardiovascular and physiological response (effectively extrapolated to long-term CVD risks) to meals prepared with various sodium-rich condiments can be leveraged upon for the development of such an index that will systematically classify sodium-rich condiments based on the risk they present to cardiovascular health.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing whether using lower-sodium versions of everyday condiments (like soy sauce, fish sauce, or salt) in daily cooking can help reduce blood pressure in older adults who have mildly elevated blood pressure.
