“…In the case of participants <65 years old, the validity of the 24-hour urine sample was evaluated based on the ratio of urinary creatinine to body weight. Samples from females were included when the creatinine (mg/day/kg) ranged from ≥10.8 and ≤25.2, while for males, criteria were met when creatinine (mg/day/kg) was ≥14.4 and ≤33.6 [32].…”

Adequate sodium and potassium intake, along with adherence to the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet), are key factors for preventing hypertension and cerebrovascular diseases. However, data on the consumption of these nutrients within the MedDiet are scarce. This cross-sectional study aims to assess the association between MedDiet adherence and sodium/potassium intake in the MIND-Matosinhos randomized controlled trial, targeting Portuguese adults at a high risk of dementia. Good adherence to the MedDiet was defined using the Portuguese Mediterranean Diet Adherence Screener questionnaire (≥10 points), and both sodium/potassium intakes were estimated from 24 hour urine collections. The association between MedDiet adherence and these nutrients’ intake (dichotomized by the median) was quantified by calculating odds ratios (OR) and respective 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) using a logistic regression. A total of 169 individuals (60.9% female; median age: 70 years; range: 36–85 years) were included. Good adherence to the MedDiet was observed among 18.3% of the sample. After adjusting for sex, age, education and using antihypertensive drugs, good MedDiet adherence was associated with higher sodium (OR = 3.11; 95% CI: 1.27–7.65) and potassium intake (OR = 9.74; 95% CI: 3.14–30.26). Increased adherence to the MedDiet may contribute to a higher potassium intake but seems to have limited effects on the adequacy of sodium levels.

The present research aims at comprehensive analysis to determine the effectiveness of cardiac surgery in patients in the acute period of myocardial infarction in comparison with patients who received drug treatment. A comparative assessment of the level of hospital mortality was carried out in the groups of patients of senior working age, elderly and old age, dividing them into patients who received cardiac surgery (main group) and drug treatment (comparison group). Among the patients of working age, 284 were assigned to the main group and 272 to the comparison group; among the patients of elderly age, 104 were assigned to the main group and 363 to the comparison group; and among the patients of old age, there were 9 patients in the main group and 235 patients in the comparison group. For reliable difference between the compared indicators, the authors determined the relative risk of socio-hygienic factors in terms of mortality rate and the significant limit of mortality formation, taking into account that the factor the relative risk of which is more than one is significant. The significant difference in mortality in hospital between patients who received high-tech medical services (HTMS) and the group of patients who did not undergo such high-tech heart surgery was found only in the elderly patients (65-74 years old), p = 0.002 (chi-square). The number of deaths in hospital from myocardial infarction in the main group increases with age. Mathematical modeling showed that the level of hospital mortality is also influenced by the provision of the hospital with qualified cardiologists, specialized bed and special medical equipment.
