Manoj Sharma (Social and Behavioral Health; Internal Medicine) coauthored an article titled, “Intention to reduce dietary salt and its influencing factors in middle-aged and older hypertensive patients: A theory of planned behavior-based cross-sectional study,” in collaboration with researchers from Chongqing Medical University in the journal, Frontiers in Public Health (Impact factor 3.4).
The study highlighted the crucial role of salt-reducing dietary attitudes and perceived behavioral control (constructs from the Theory of Planned Behavior) in salt-reducing dietary intentions among middle-aged and older hypertensive patients in China and provided valuable implications for designing nutrition education interventions in this area.
