Does genotype-based dietary advice elicit a change in dietary intake? Focus on hypertension and salt intake

Salt sensitivity, a heterogenous blood pressure response to dietary salt, is a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular mortality. [...]literature is currently non-ubiquitous regarding anticipated dietary behaviour responses(3,4)potentially owing to the target's understanding of risks and benefits and interpretation of results. [...]it is necessary to understand whether genetic literacy and knowledge of increased genetic risk influence behaviour change. Overall, the proportion of individuals adhering to the government guidelines for salt intake did not change post-intervention (McNemar's test, p = 0.388, Figure 1.) [...]salt intake did not significantly change post knowledge of genotypes (Two-way mixed ANOVA, p = 0.661, Table 1).
