A total of 83 children participated (mean age, 9.2 years), and 75 had complete survey data.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that children with complete survey data had improved scores for salt-related knowledge, behaviors, and self-efficacy but not attitude. No change in salt intake was seen among the 51 children with valid urine collections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Further research is required to confirm these results using a more robust study design which includes a control group,&#8221; the authors write.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jneb.org\/article\/S1499-4046(18)30197-0\/fulltext\" target=\"_new\">Abstract\/Full Text (subscription or payment may be required)<\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Copyright \u00a9 2018 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthday.com\/\" target=\"_new\">HealthDay<\/a>.
