“…This difference was even more pronounced in the NZ youth population where more males (7.9%) had high BP compared to females (3.4%) [3]. Similar patterns were also observed in other populations around the world [5][6][7].…”

“…Lifestyle choices such as adherence to a healthy diet (low sodium and saturated fat intake but high fruits and vegetables intake) [6,8,9], and maintaining a healthy weight [9] at early ages lowers the risk of developing high BP in adulthood. Prospective studies have consistently demonstrated that high BP at a young age persists into later life [7] and lifestyle factors are harder to modify in adulthood [8].…”

“…The key modifiable risk factor in this age group is diet [4,8] but it is not known which dietary factors are associated with the greatest risk of high BP in adolescents of differing weight status. Obesity is also an important risk factor for high BP with an increasing number of studies indicating this association holds true in adolescents [6,10,11]. With just under half of the NZ youth population aged 15-24 (45.4%) being overweight or obese [3], the risk of developing high BP in this age group is of concern.…”

Diet is one of the strongest modifiable risk factors for hypertension. In this study, we described the associations between dietary factors and blood pressure; and explored how weight status moderated these associations in a sample of New Zealand male adolescents. We collected demographics information, anthropometric, blood pressure, and dietary data from 108 male adolescents (15–17 years old). Mixed effects and logistic regression models were used to estimate relationships between dietary variables, blood pressure, and hypertension. Moderation effects of overweight status on the relationship between hypertension and diet were explored through forest plots. One-third (36%) of the sample was classified as hypertensive. Fruit intake was related to significantly lower systolic (−2.4 mmHg, p = 0.005) and diastolic blood pressure (−3.9 mmHg, p = 0.001). Vegetable and milk intake was related to significantly lower diastolic blood pressure (−1.4 mmHg, p = 0.047) and (−2.2 mmHg, p = 0.003), respectively. In overweight participants, greater vegetable and milk, and lower meat intake appeared to reduce the odds of hypertension. Certain dietary factors may have more prominent effects on blood pressure depending on weight status.

The World Hypertension League Science of Salt health outcomes review series highlights high-quality publications relating to salt intake and health outcomes. This review uses a standardised method, outlined in previous reviews and based on methods developed by WHO, to identify and critically appraise published articles on dietary salt intake and health outcomes. We identified 41 articles published between September 2019 to December 2020. Amongst these, two studies met the pre-specified methodological quality criteria for critical appraisal. They were prospective cohort studies and examined physical performance and composite renal outcomes as health outcomes. Both found an association between increased/higher sodium intake and poorer health outcomes. Few studies meet criteria for high-quality methods. This review adds further evidence that dietary salt reduction has health benefits and strengthens evidence relating to health outcomes other than blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. We observe that most studies on dietary sodium do not have adequate methodology to reliably assess sodium intake and its association with health outcomes.
