Given that the home environment shapes early health behaviours, it is important to target both parents and children when addressing diet and physical activity.

Results from systematic reviews and meta-analyses have demonstrated that decreasing dietary sodium in children leads to small but clinically insignificant decreases in BP. However, population-level strategies to reduce sodium consumption, such as food product reformulation, modifying food procurement processes, and …
