Salt intake and blood pressure in the university of Asuncion-Paraguay youths: a preliminary study

Abstract

Salt intake and blood pressure were found to be significantly elevated in young adults in Paraguay and argues for the importance of instituting a national campaign to reduce salt intake in this society.

Dietary sodium and potassium intake and their association with blood pressure in a non‐hypertensive Iranian adult population: Isfahan salt study

“…Likewise, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006) and another population-based study reported that while the combination of Na and K had a positive relationship with the risk of elevated BP, no such relationships were present in case of Na and K alone. 14,39 The average Na intake in the present study (167 mEq/ day) was about two times higher than the 88 mEq/day (2000 mg/day) recommended by the WHO. 40 Moreover, the average K intake (63 mEq/day) among our participants was slightly lower than the recommended amount (2700-3100 mg/day).…”

“…We found that the OR of prehypertension occurrence was more than doubled in the highest quintile of the UNa/K ratio compared to its lowest quintile. Likewise, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2001–2006) and another population‐based study reported that while the combination of Na and K had a positive relationship with the risk of elevated BP, no such relationships were present in case of Na and K alone …”

“…Consistent with the findings of previous studies, the present study showed the incidence of prehypertension to be more strongly related with the UNa/K ratio than with either UNa or UK alone. We found that the OR of prehypertension occurrence was more than doubled in the highest quintile of the UNa/K ratio compared to its lowest quintile.…”

Dietary Sodium and Potassium Intake Is Not Associated With Elevated Blood Pressure in US Adults With No Prior History of Hypertension

“…20 A small study of healthy participants in Paraguay also did not find an association between elevated BP and dietary sodium or potassium intake. 21 A previous analysis using NHANES I data examined participants without a history of hypertension and found that higher intakes of sodium and potassium were associated with a lower not higher mean SBP. 22 Another study performed in NHANES I found no relationship between sodium and potassium intake and BP.…”

Prevalence of some modified cardiovascular risk factors among young students

“…Вейнбергер [44], который изучал сольчувстви-тельность, установил, что среди лиц с нормальным АД моложе 30 лет сольчувствительными являются 35%, и это делает чрезвычайно важным изучение потребления пова-ренной соли среди молодых людей. Как показывают ис-следования [45][46][47], в том числе и наше, досаливают при-Таблица 4. Распространенность регулярного и нерегулярного курения среди студентов двух вузов Москвы (в %) Примечание.…”
