“…This study found that elderly showed effort in reducing salt intake and acknowledge the importance of consuming salt according to the recommendation. This finding is concurrent with previous studies by Zhang et al ( 26 ) and Lee et al ( 28 ) where elderly was reported to believe that salt reduction would indeed give positive impact to health status. However, it is important to note that a small number of the subjects in this study who were older had negative attitude toward healthy salt intake as they are used to eating salty food and believe that salt has no correlation to the onset of poor health conditions.…”

“…In Hong Kong, elderly living in Elderly Health Centers (EHC) were reported to have better health literacy than the general elderly population as they had access to primary health care ( 27 ). Another study by Lee et al ( 28 ) suggested that minority of the population in the Republic of China had worse nutritional status and poorer health as they often had limited access to health care information and centers. Thus, it is observed that nutrition and health knowledge is only accessible for the elderly if they had access to health care.…”

Hypertension is a worldwide problem and a major global health burden with high salt intake as one of the factors often related to it. Public exposure to a high salt diet has contributed to the increase in prevalence of hypertension among the Malaysian population. Improving the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to salt intake is a key component of effective blood pressure control. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the association of KAP of healthy salt intake toward blood pressure among the elderly residing in a semi urban area of Klang Valley Malaysia. A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted among Malay elderly, aged 60–81 years old residing in Bandar Baru Bangi. Subjects were required to answer the questionnaire via face to face interview regarding KAP of Salt Intake, together with sociodemographic and health profiles. Anthropometry parameters and blood pressure were measured. A total of 94 elderly [57.5% women with mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of 26. 46 ± 4.16, 42.5% men with mean BMI of 27.31 ± 5.19] have participated in the study. Results indicated that the overall KAP score was average (57.4%). However, majority showed a positive attitude toward reducing the salt intake. BMI was found to have significant correlation with blood pressure (r = 0.278, p < 0.05). Higher education level was significantly (p < 0.05) associated with good knowledge scores while younger subjects have a positive attitude toward healthy intake of salt (p < 0.05). Subjects with higher knowledge scores were also observed to have the more controlled blood pressure compared to those who scored less. Attitude and practices score showed no significance difference (p > 0.05) with blood pressure. Younger age, higher level of education and living partner or elderly was significantly (p < 0.05) associated with lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Overall, this study showed that knowledge toward healthy salt intake, BMI, education level, and living with others were significantly associated with the blood pressure among the elderly. Further education and intervention is required to improve knowledge on healthy salt intake among elderly as part of the prevention from hypertension.

“…Other researchers touched on the challenges of dining with others, the flavor, the lack of variety while dining out, and the lack of knowledge about salt. (17) A obstacle is the lack of knowledge about the sodium content of various foods as well as the tradition of salting food. Clinical factors that interfere with weight management include: being overweight, having a low BMI, visiting the doctor frequently, the patient's health status, the source of the multivation in the health care system, and the doctor's education of the patient regarding the clinical condition.…”

Background: Some personal and health-related factors may influence hypertensive patients' level of self-management. Aim: to determine clinical factors acting as barriers to the eleven (11) healthy lifestyles (self-management) practices amongst hypertensives in communities of Idoma tribe, Benue state Nigeria. Methods: A multi-stage, multi-communities, cross-sectional simple random sampling method for quantitative and qualitative data using Self-reported/administered questionnaire and Semi- structured focus group discussion/interviews was used. Data analyzed using descriptive statistics-frequency and percentage presented in tables, while thematic analysis was used for qualitative information. Results: Clinical factors barrier to medication adherent are; not having any symptom 85.1%, fear of side effect of drugs 84.4%, physical exercise barriers are Physician did not prescribe physical exercise 86.1%, Not have any symptoms 85.7%; Respondent stated that feel better 84.9% and when you do not have any symptom 79.9%, are barriers to self- BP monitoring clinically. Feel better 88%, poor commitment between patients and health care personnel 76% are barriers to DASH. 86% and 74.2%, feel better, being overweight were weight management barriers respectively. Moderation in Alcohol clinical factor barriers are; when you feel well 75.7% and feel better 72.6%. Barrier factor to non-smoking adherence is feel better 58.4%. Stress control clinical barriers are; feel worse 73.5% and multiple medical treatment regimen 71.8% amongst others. Follow prescribed treatment plan; Feel better 84%, not having symptom 81% amongst others were clinical barriers. Conclusion: The result calls for intervention to improve the population clinical factor barriers to the eleven healthy lifestyles variables.

“…Kurnia et al [24] used a face-to-face technique to establish a cogent influence of education on attitudes concerning hypertension in Indonesia. According to a Chinese study, employing a video to perform distant learning on attitude is the best technique [25]. Follow up services and proactive attitude towards treatment and monitoring of health status are positively associated an improvement of control blood pressure, especially in hypertensive patients [26].…”

Introduction: Hypertension, the silent killer, affects around one billion people worldwide. Therefore, efforts are necessary to raise public awareness. Objective: This research aims to assess the interactive online health education's impact on hypertension public health domain in the productive-age population in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Method: This non-randomized quasi-experimental study assessed the level of knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding awareness of hypertension based on the comparison of pre-tests and post-test results after a virtual educational intervention. Recruitment of the participants was performed using a consecutive sampling method. Resident living in Ketabang and Pacar Keling sub-districts of Surabaya were recruited for this study. The study consisted of thirteen participants who took participated in a three-session educational intervention delivered virtually via Zoom Cloud Meetings. The study results were gathered using pre-test and post-test questionnaires via Google Forms. The knowledge domain was compared using a paired t-test, while the attitude and practice domains were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: After the educational intervention, the research disclosed significant differences between the knowledge and practice domain's pre-test and post-test mean scores (57.69 vs. 66.92; p = 0.046; and 31 vs. 32; p = 0.020). However, an examination of the attitude domain revealed indifference (33 vs. 34; p = 0.306). The impact of intervention via interactive online learning was demonstrated in this study by considerable improvements in knowledge and practice. However, the result of participants' attitudes did not alter significantly in this study. Conclusion: This study implies that providing public health promotion and education through online platforms can be used to improve hypertension awareness. Further better-designed and wider-scaled studies with a control group are needed to confirm our findings.
