Association of Usual Sodium Intake with Obesity Among US Children and Adolescents, NHANES 2009-2016.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The purpose of this study was to investigate the association of sodium intake with obesity in US children and adolescents.

Methods

Cross-sectional data were analyzed for 9,026 children and adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2009-2016. Usual sodium intake was estimated from 24-hour dietary recalls using a measurement error model. Logistic regression was used to assess the association of sodium intake with overweight/obesity, obesity, and central obesity (waist to height ratio [WtHR] ≥ 0.5; waist circumferences (WC) ≥ age- and sex-specific 90th percentile).

Results

Mean (SE) sodium intake was 3,010  (9) and 3,404  (20) mg/d for children and adolescents, respectively. The adjusted odds ratio (AOR) comparing Q4 versus Q1
