Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Reduction of systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) in the three groups evaluated (hypertensive, borderline and normotensive), verified by casual blood pressure measurement (in the office), by comparing the means of the casual measurements to each After the reduction of the use of addition salt delivered by the study every 4 weeks in three levels (6g, 5g and 4g of salt / day).;There was no significant reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure between normotensive and borderline subjects from baseline to the end of the study, and the hypertensive group significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure from the first to the last visit, as measured by the casual measure of Blood pressure (in the office), from a comparison of the casual measurements at each visit. The hypertensive group reduced 7.2 mmHg at systolic pressure and 4.3 mmHg at diastolic pressure (p <0.005), considering the initial and final values. | — |
