Behavioral changes as a result of disclosure of hypothetical genetic test results of salt sensitivity showing the proportion of behavioral changes as a result of disclosure of hypothetical results in both the no salt restriction and salt restriction groups.

Notes: In the no salt restriction group, the percentage of outpatients who progressed was 58.7% if the hypothetical result was positive and 29.8% if the hypothetical result was negative (P < 0.001, Chi-square test). Conversely, in the salt restriction group, the percentage of outpatients who stated that they would quit salt restriction was 9.2% if the hypothetical result was negative and 2.2% if the hypothetical result was positive (P < 0.001, Chi-square test and Fisher’s Exact test).
