Brief summary (registry, in English)
This project aims to address the significant burden of cardiovascular disease in Malaysia, especially the high prevalence of hypertension with excessive salt and sugar intake. The study targets the university campus community, recognizing reliance on out-of-home food options and the potential impact of reducing salt and sugar in campus foods on overall health. The project aims to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to salt and sugar intake among students, staff, and campus canteen staff. Through a combination of surveys, dietary assessments, urine analysis, and body composition measurements, the study aims to generate valuable insights into effective strategies for reducing salt and sugar intake and improving cardiovascular health among the campus population.
