South Africans were more likely than Ghanaians to add salt to food at the table (OR 4.80, CI 4.071–5.611, p < 0.001) but less likely to add salt to food during cooking (OR 0.16, CI 0.130–0.197, p < 0.001). South Africans were also less likely to take action to control their salt intake (OR 0.436, CI 0.379–0.488, p < 0.001). Considering the various salt reduction initiatives of South Africa that have been largely absent in Ghana, this study supports additional efforts to raise consumer awareness on discretionary salt use and behaviour change in both countries]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:24:40 AEST ]]> Barriers and facilitators of dietary sodium restriction amongst Bangladeshi chronic kidney disease patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20140 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:51:35 AEDT ]]>
