- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To measure the decrease in the proportion of their energy coming from saturated fats by asking participants to complete the Dietary Questionnaire for Epidemiological Studies (DQESv2) - Cancer Coucil of Victoria[baseline and 1 year after intervention];Assess dietary salt intake using DQESv2[baseline and 1 year after intervention];To monitor physical activity using The Lifescripts questionnaire and using accelerometers(Actigragh GT1M) for seven consecutive days[baseline and 1 year after intervention];Urinary Sodium Excretion will be measured in a single, timed, overnight, non-fasting urine collection- not by 24 hour urine collection. Aliquots of each sample will be measured in duplicate for sodium and potassium using indirect ion selective electrodes and for creatinine by the Abbott Jaffe reaction, all in an Abbott Architect analyser. Urinary sodium will then be converted to daily excretion rates using the multipliers of 8 hour urinary excretion.[baseline and 1 year after intervention]
