Urinary sodium and potassium excretion and the risk of type 2 diabetes: a prospective study in Finland

Abstract: Aims/hypothesis: No previous studies on the association between salt intake and the risk of type 2 diabetes have been reported. The aim of this study was to assess whether high salt intake, measured by 24-h urinary sodium excretion, is an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Methods: We followed prospectively 932 Finnish men and 1,003 women aged 35-64 years with complete data on 24-h urinary sodium and potassium excretion and other study parameters. Hazard ratios for the incidence of type 2 diabetes we… Show more

“…For the first time these data demonstrate a new, causative link between sodium intake and insulin resistance, without the presence of hypertension. HS intake increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, independently of hypertension or physical inactivity [35]. Other studies provide further evidence that HS intake leads to insulin resistance [1][2][3][4] without attendant hypertension [1,2].…”

“…Thus, rather than having underestimated the absolute number of diabetic cases in this cohort, we might have had a delayed date of diagnosis for some cases. Finally, we cannot completely exclude either the effects of residual confounding owing to measurement error in the assessment of confounding factors, or some unmeasured factors including coffee additives (sugar and/or milk) and several dietary factors (such as intake of whole grain, intake of fiber, magnesium, calcium, sodium, saturated and polyunsaturated fat, glycaemic load of the diet and total energy intake) (Steyn et al, 2004;Hu et al, 2005).…”
