“…[24][25][26] Also, a Swiss study found a positive association between obesity and salt intake. 27 This was also consistent with the policy and action on nutrition and health promotion in many countries. In the UK, a wide range of policies are in place, including support for breastfeeding and healthy weaning practices, nutritional standards in schools, restrictions on marketing foods high in fat, sugar and salt to children, schemes to boost participation in sport, active travel plans, and weight management services.…”

ObjectivesTo explore the association of dietary behaviour factors on obesity among city, township and rural area adults.SettingA stratified cluster sampling technique was employed in the present cross-sectional study. On the basis of socioeconomic characteristics, two cities, two townships and two residential villages were randomly selected where the investigation was conducted.ParticipantsA total of 1770 city residents, 2071 town residents and 1736 rural area residents participated in this survey.Primary and secondary outcome measuresDietary data were collected through interviews with each household member. Anthropometric values were measured. Participants with a body mass index (BMI) of ≥28.0 kg/m2 were defined as obesity.ResultsThe prevalence of obesity was 10.1%, 7.3% and 6.5% among city, township and rural area adults, respectively. Correlation analysis showed that for adults living in cities, the daily intake of rice and its products, wheat flour and its products, light coloured vegetables, pickled vegetables, nut, pork and sauce was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.112, 0.084, 0.109, 0.129, 0.077, 0.078, 0.125, p<0.05), while the daily intake of tubers, dried beans, milk and dairy products was negatively correlated with BMI (r=−0.086, −0.078, −0.116, p<0.05). For township residents, the daily intake of vegetable oil, salt, chicken essence, monosodium glutamate and sauce was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.088, 0.091, 0.078, 0.087, 0.189, p<0.05). For rural area residents, the daily intake of pork, fish and shrimp, vegetable oil and salt was positively correlated with BMI (r=0.087, 0.122, 0.093, 0.112, p<0.05), while the daily intake of dark coloured vegetables was negatively correlated with BMI (r=−0.105, p<0.05).ConclusionsThe prevalence of obesity was higher among city residents than among township and rural area residents. The findings of this study indicate that demographic and dietary factors could be associated with obesity among adults. Healthy dietary behaviour should be promoted and the ongoing monitoring of population nutrition and health status remains crucially important.

“…In addition, the current study observed that participants with obesity had higher Na excretion than those without. This finding is in line with previous studies (8) , but inconsistent with the finding of a cross-sectional study of 1008 students in grade 7 in Canada (11) . The inconsistency could be in part due to Na intake estimated by 24 h diet recall.…”

“…Previous studies have identified that high Na intake is a risk factor for CVD incidence and mortality (6,7) . Although several studies, attempting to examine the relationship between high Na intake and risk of obesity, have been conducted globally (8)(9)(10)(11)(12) , detailed analyses evaluating the risk of high Na intake estimated by 24 h urinary Na excretion on obesity have been limited (8,12) . Additionally, only one previous study explored the association between Na:K estimated by earlymorning first-void urine samples and total-body percentage fat measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (13) .…”

Objective: To examine the association of 24 h urinary Na excretion and Na:K with obesity in Chinese adults. Design: Population-based cross-sectional study using a four-stage stratified sampling strategy. Setting: Shandong Province, China. Subjects: Chinese adults (n 1906) aged 18-69 years who provided complete 24 h urine samples. Results: Odds of obesity increased significantly across increasing quartiles of urinary Na excretion (1·00, 1·54, 1·69 and 2·52, respectively, for overweight; 1·00, 1·20, 1·50, and 2·03, respectively, for obesity; 1·00, 1·44, 1·85 and 2·53, respectively, for abdominal obesity (assessed by waist circumference); and 1·00, 1·28, 1·44 and 1·75, respectively, for abdominal obesity (assessed by waistto-height ratio); P for linear trend <0·001 for all). In addition, odds of abdominal obesity, but not odds of overweight and obesity, increased significantly with successive Na:K quartiles. Additionally, for each increment in urinary Na excretion of 100 mmol, odds of overweight, obesity, abdominal obesity (by waist circumference) and abdominal obesity (by waist-to-height ratio) increased significantly by 46 %, 39 %, 55 % and 33 %, respectively. Similarly, with a 1 SD increase in Na:K, odds of abdominal obesity (by waist circumference) and abdominal obesity (by waist-toheight ratio) increased significantly by 12 % and 15 %, respectively. Conclusions: These findings suggest that 24 h urinary Na excretion and Na:K might be important risk factors for obesity in Chinese adults.

“…In the population-based Swiss Salt Study (2010-2011), which also relied on measured anthropometric data and included 1505 participants aged 15 years and over, average BMI was 25.2 kg/m 2 (39). In the population-based CoLaus study, including more than 6100 adults residing in the city of Lausanne and aged 35 to 75 years, average BMI at baseline (2003-2006) was 25.8 kg/m 2 (14).…”
