Less Sodium, More Potassium, or Both: Population-wide Strategies to Prevent Hypertension
Am J Physiol Renal Physiol. 2023 Jun 1. doi: 10.1152/ajprenal.00007.2023. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHypertension is among the most prevalent medical conditions globally and a major contributor to chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and death. Prevention through non-pharmacologic, population-level interventions is critically needed to halt this worldwide epidemic. However, there are ongoing debates as to where public policy efforts should focus. Recently the Salt Substitute and Stroke Study demonstrated the efficacy of substituting table salt with potassium salt to reduce the risk of stroke, major cardiovasc...

Dietary Sodium: A Therapeutic Target in the Treatment of Hypertension and CKD
Interventional trials of dietary sodium reduction have demonstrated improvements in blood pressure, cardiovascular events, and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Furthermore, public health initiatives to reduce population sodium intake in Finland and Japan have shown similar benefit in blood pressure and stroke reduction. Recent follow-up data from large cohort trials that suggest increased mortality among individuals with lower urinary sodium excretion have generated controversy regarding the optimal sodium intake. This paper reviews the evidence for the reduction of dietary sodium to prevent and manage chronic diseases, inclu...

Shocking Findings About Sodium in our Restaurant Foods that You Need to Know
(HealthCastle.com).  Sodium is a mineral that is found in salt.  Our bodies need sodium to control blood pressure and help with muscle and nerve function.  The problem is that most of us get too much sodium in our diets.  And that’s a problem because too much sodium can lead to health problems like high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke and kidney disease.  Sodium intake is now called the leading preventable risk factor for death world-wide. The amount of sodium we need is shown here: read more

The Imbalance of Sodium and Potassium Intake: Implications for Dietetic Practice
Currently, ∼90% of Americans consume excess sodium and virtually everyone consumes inadequate potassium. Randomized control trials and epidemiologic studies have demonstrated that higher sodium intake and lower potassium intake are modifiable risk factors for elevated blood pressure and hypertension, in addition to excess body weight, nonadherence to a Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, lack of physical activity, and excess alcohol consumption. Nonmodifiable risk factors include age and family history. High blood pressure is a leading risk factor for heart disease and stroke, which are both leadi...

Attitudes and beliefs of health risks associated with sodium intake in diabetes.
CONCLUSION: Despite knowledge that a high salt diet is related to high blood pressure it was not a high level of concern for this population group. Label reading and purchase of low salt products was used by the majority of the group but their salt excretion was still high, although men who used label reading had a lower salt intake. Other strategies to promote a lower sodium intake such as reducing sodium in staple foods such as bread need investigation. PMID: 25128832 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Does pragmatically structured outpatient dietary counselling reduce sodium intake in hypertensive patients? Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
DiscussionThough decreasing sodium intake has been reported to be efficacious in lowering blood pressure, there exists a gap in the evidence for an effective intervention that could be easily translated into clinical practice. If successful, our intervention would be suitable for outpatient programs such as hypertension clinics or interprofessional family practices (family health teams). A negative, or partially negative (positive effect at four weeks with attrition by 12 months) trial outcome also has significant implications for healthcare delivery and use of resources.Trial registrationThe trial was registered with Cli...

Sodium Intake Among U.S. Adults - 26 States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, 2013.
Abstract Excess sodium intake is a major risk factor for hypertension, and subsequently, heart disease and stroke, the first and fifth leading causes of U.S. deaths, respectively. During 2011-2012, the average daily sodium intake among U.S. adults was estimated to be 3,592 mg, above the Healthy People 2020 target of 2,300 mg. To support strategies to reduce dietary sodium intake, 2013 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) data from states and territories that implemented the new sodium-related behavior module were assessed. Across 26 states, the District of Columbia (DC), and Puerto Rico, 39%-73% of a...

Reducing Sodium Intake in Children: A Public Health Investment
The antecedents of elevated blood pressure (BP) and its major consequences (cardiovascular disease and stroke) begin in childhood. Higher levels of BP early in life track into adulthood and are associated with subclinical target organ damage in children and adults. Diet behaviors, including the choice of high sodium containing foods, are established during childhood. On average, children, ages 2‐19, consume more than 3,100 mg of sodium per day, with substantially greater sodium intakes in boys than girls. Importantly, studies show that lowering sodium intake in children lowers blood pressure. In view of this evidence, US...

Modification of Sodium Release Using Porous Corn Starch and Lipoproteic Matrix
Abstract Excessive sodium consumption can result in hypertension, diabetes, heart diseases, stroke, and kidney diseases. Various chips and extruded snacks, where salt is mainly applied on the product surface, accounted for almost 56% of snacks retail sales in 2010. Hence, it is important to target sodium reduction for those snack products. Past studies had shown that modifying the rate‐release mechanism of sodium is a promising strategy for sodium reduction in the food industry. Encapsulation of salt can be a possible technique to control sodium release rate. Porous corn starch (PCS), created by enzymatic treatment and s...

Usefulness and Pitfalls in Sodium Intake Estimation: Comparison of Dietary Assessment and Urinary Excretion in Chilean Children and Adults.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed that average sodium intake was higher than recommended in both children and adults (WHO ≤2,000mg/d). The sodium intake estimated by dietary assessment correlated with urinary excretion in all subjects, but in obese adults was more inaccurate than in children. Future studies to validate the appropriate test to assess sodium intake by age and nutritional status are warranted. PMID: 27279009 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

What FDA ’s new sodium guidelines could look like in practice
With nine out of 10 U.S. adults and children consuming too much sodium, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released draft proposed voluntary guidelines to encourage companies to significantly reduce sodium in processed and restaurant foods by 2020. Some of the recommended changes may be eye-opening for patients who don ’t closely monitor their sodium intake. The need to decrease sodium consumption High sodium intake has a direct correlation to high blood pressure, which leads to heart disease and stroke —the most common causes of death in the U.S., contributing to more than 1,000 deaths per day. “...

Population-level interventions in government jurisdictions for dietary sodium reduction.
CONCLUSIONS: Population-level interventions in government jurisdictions for dietary sodium reduction have the potential to result in population-wide reductions in salt intake from pre-intervention to post-intervention, particularly if they are multi-component (more than one intervention activity) and incorporate intervention activities of a structural nature (e.g. food product reformulation), and particularly amongst men. Heterogeneity across studies was significant, reflecting different contexts (population and setting) and initiative characteristics. Implementation of future initiatives should embed more effective means ...

Influence of sodium consumption and associated knowledge on poststroke hypertension in Uganda
Conclusions: High urine sodium and high salt-diet preferences were more frequent among poststroke hypertensive patients in Uganda than in their nonhypertensive counterparts. There was, however, no difference in dietary salt knowledge between these groups. The development of educational strategies that include salt-diet preferences may lead to better blood pressure control in this high-risk population.
