Changing sodium intake in children . The Minneapolis Children 's Blood Pressure Study . To assess the effects of modifying dietary sodium intake , 80 school children with blood pressures above the 95th percentile for age and sex but below 130/90 mm Hg at school screening were randomized to a family intervention program or a control group . Twenty children aged 6 to 9 years and their families began a program to modify the family diet toward a goal of 70 mEq sodium per person per day . Adherence was assessed by 3-day food records and urine collections in children and adults . The sodium intakes and blood pressures of the intervention and control group were compared 1 year after randomization . Sodium intake was significantly lower in the intervention group only in the active participants as compared to dropouts and controls ( 87 vs 130 and 133 mmoles/24 hr ) . There were no significant differences between the groups in height , weight , or blood pressure .
