[Correlations between dietary salt intake and 24-h urine sodium excretion in a sample of the urban population of Caceres].

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Excessive salt intake is associated with higher levels of AHT and prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. WHO recommends consuming less than 5 g/day of salt (equivalent to 2 g Na⁺/day). Identifying foods and behaviours with greater contribution to excess intake would facilitate preventive dietary advice.

Design

Observational study. SITE: Urban Health Center in Cáceres.

Main measurements

We estimated salt consumption using two food consumption frequency (FFQ) questionnaires, one generic and one with high Na+ content, and a 24 h follow-up survey. We use the Evalfinut program for nutritional evaluation of the diet. We analyzed correlations between estimated salt intake and 24-h urine sodium elimination (gold standard).
