Sodium intake in a cross-sectional, representative sample of New York City adults.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We estimated sodium intake, which is associated with elevated blood pressure, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and assessed its association with related variables among New York City adults.

Methods

In 2010 we conducted a cross-sectional, population-based survey of 1656 adults, the Heart Follow-Up Study, that collected self-reported health information, measured blood pressure, and obtained sodium, potassium, and creatinine values from 24-hour urine collections.

Results

Mean daily sodium intake was 3239 milligrams per day; 81% of participants exceeded their recommended limit. Sodium intake was higher in non-Hispanic Blacks (3477 mg/d) and Hispanics (3395 mg/d) than in non-Hispanic Whites (3066 mg/d; both P < .05). Higher sodium intake was associated with higher blood pressure in adjusted models, and this association varied by race/ethnicity.

Conclusions

Higher sodium intake among non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics than among Whites was not previously documented in population surveys relying on self-report. These results demonstrate the feasibility of 24-hour urine collection for the purposes of research, surveillance, and program evaluation.

Project description:BackgroundSleep is a crucial determinant of physical and mental health outcomes, and insufficient sleep is highly prevalent among United States adults. Although some risk factors of poor sleep have been extensively studied, including substance use, age, health behaviors, and others, the associations between socioeconomic status (SES) and sleep remain inconclusive. There is limited evidence on SES and sleep duration among the US adult population. This study analyzed the relationships between three SES indicators (poverty, education, and food security), and sleep duration.MethodsWe used responses from the 2017-March 2020 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Respondents younger than 25 years old were excluded. Sleep duration was classified using self-reported sleep time and stratified by work vs. non-workdays. SES was operationalized using three indicators: poverty-income ratio, educational attainment, and food security status. We imputed missing data for socioeconomic status and outcome variables using multiple imputation. Weighted Poisson regression models with robust standard errors were used to calculate the crude and adjusted prevalence ratios for insufficient sleep duration (< 7 h of self-reported sleep) on workdays and non-workdays separately by each of the three SES indicators.ResultsWe included a total of 8,457 individuals. In the adjusted model, participants with lower income, educational status, and food security had significantly higher prevalence of insufficient sleep duration on both workdays and non-workdays. For example, low-income individuals (poverty-income ratio < 1) had 1.22 (95% CI 1.04-1.44) and 2.08 (95% CI 1.61-2.67) higher prevalence of insufficient sleep as compared to high income individuals on workday and non-workdays, respectively. In general, we found larger differences by level of SES indicator for the non-workday than for the workday outcome. There were no major differences in gender-stratified analysis. We also found that lower SES was associated with higher prevalence of excessive sleep (≥ 9 h).ConclusionSocioeconomic status indicators are significantly associated with sleep duration in the US adult population. Lower SES correlates with increased prevalence of insufficient sleep duration, which has implications for the overall wellbeing of US adults with lower SES. Targeted interventions and further research are needed to reduce this disparity.
