Objective :
To investigate the knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention among residents in Liandu District of Lishui,and to provide reference for intervention of salt reduction.
Methods :
Residents aged 18-69 years in two communities and three towns of Liandu District were selected by multistage stratified random sampling method. They were investigated the prevalence of hypertension and knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the influencing factors for knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention.
Results :
Among 1 801 participants,1 509 completed the survey,with a response rate of 83.79%. The prevalence of hypertension was 31.88%. The proportions of the participants who had knowledge, attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention were 33.40%,60.70% and 58.58%,respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that women(OR=1.583,95%CI:1.248-2.008),hypertension(OR= 1.734,95%CI:1.303-2.308),30 to 39 years old(OR=0.368,95%CI:0.226-0.597),junior high school and above education(OR=0.057-0.403,95%CI:0.036-0.577)were the influencing factors for the knowledge of salt reduction for hypertension prevention;women(OR=1.342,95%CI:1.072-1.679),married(OR=1.582,95%CI:1.167-2.144),junior or senior high school education(OR=0.235-0.525,95%CI:0.163-0.736),having the knowledge(OR=2.640,95%CI:2.033-3.430)were the influencing factors for the attitude of salt reduction for hypertension prevention;women(OR=1.632,95%CI:1.304-2.044),30 to 39 years old(OR=0.494,95%CI:0.346-0.705),rural residents(OR= 1.617,95%CI:1.276-2.050),family history of chronic diseases(OR=1.455,95%CI:1.148-1.845),having the knowledge(OR= 1.396,95%CI:1.084-1.797),having the attitude(OR=4.059,95%CI:3.203-5.145)were the influencing factor for the practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention.
Conclusion
The residents in Liandu District had low levels of the knowledge,attitude and practice of salt reduction for hypertension prevention. The higher levels of the knowledge and attitude of salt reduction for hypertension prevention,the higher level of the practice.

Objective To explore the role of TMAO from gut microbiota in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),we detected the serum level of TMAO and its precursor metabolites in NAFLD,as well as the expression level of Eubacterium rectum,Bacteroidetes multiforme,Lactobacillus and bifidobacterium in the intestinal flora.Methods We collected 118 subjects and divided into NAFLD group(86 cases)and healthy control group(32 cases)randomly.We also detected the serum level of TMAO and its precursor metabolites in subjects by high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry detection(LC-MS),and the expression of target bacterial DNA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results Serum TMAO,TMA and choline levels were significantly increased in NAFLD(P<0.05),and liver fat content was positively correlated with TMAO(P<0.05).The expression level of Lactobacillus and Eubacterium rectum in NAFLD group were increased(P<0.05);the expression level of Bifidobacterium and Bacteroides multiform were decreased(P<0.05).The serum TMAO level was positively correlated with Eubacterium rectum(r=0.280,P<0.05),and negatively correlated with Bifidobacterium(r=-0.332,P<0.05).Conclusion The level of TMAO in serum shows a positive correlation with NAFLD.The structure of intestinal flora in individuals with NAFLD is altered and linked to TMAO.This suggests that the intestinal flora may have a significant impact on the development of NAFLD through TMAO.
