Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a major public health concern in India, with poor awareness and high dietary sodium intake contributing to poor control. Objective: To assess sodium intake, dietary knowledge, and the impact of a nutrition education tool in hypertensive patients. Methods: A six-month interventional cohort study was conducted at D.Y. Patil Hospital, Navi Mumbai, with 100 hypertensive patients using food frequency questionnaires and pre- and post-education assessments. Results: Significant associations were found between BP categories and salt intake, dietary habits (e.g., instant noodles, pickles, bakery items), and demographic factors. Post-intervention, there was a marked improvement in knowledge of dietary management, especially regarding DASH diet, fruit/vegetable intake, and food label awareness. Normal BP was associated with lower salt intake (mean 5.24g vs. 8.56g in elevated BP). Conclusion: Nutritional education effectively improved awareness and management of hypertension, particularly regarding sodium reduction and diet. However, limitations include single-centre design, short duration and self-reported data.
