Salt-restriction-spoon improved the salt intake among residents in China.

<h4>Objective</h4>To evaluate the effect of an improved salt-restriction spoon on the attitude of salt-restriction, the using rate of salt-restriction-spoon, the actual salt intake, and 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (24HUNa).<h4>Design</h4>A community intervention study.&l...
