Sex modifies association between dietary sodium intake and cardiovascular disease mortality among US adult with hypertension: a national population-based cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between dietary sodium intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in hypertensive American adults.

Methods

A prospective cohort study was conducted to examine the association between dietary sodium intake, as estimated by a single 24-h dietary recall from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2003-2012), and mortality data obtained from the National Death Index.

Results

This study included 12,236 adults with hypertension, with 837 CVD-related deaths identified over a median follow-up period of 10.3 years. A nonlinear association between dietary sodium intake and CVD mortality was observed. The inflection point of the curve occurred at a sodium intake level of 2.07 g/day. Belo
