Australians Study – Consume large amounts of salt twice as likely to have high blood pressure
A study of 783 Australians over the Deakin University and the Cancer Council Victoria found that those who consume large amounts of salt twice as likely to have high blood pressure.
Connections between hypertension and salt intake were made for the first time in Australia.
Although several studies have been outside the relationship between salt intake and blood pressure, is the first time in Australia.
Those who participated in the study were analyzed urine samples analyzed for levels of sodium and potassium, which gives the daily salt intake. They recorded their blood pressure and asked the amount of salt in cooking and table use.
Most participants had consumed large amounts of salt intake, with only five percent from sticking to the recommended limit of four grams per day. Those with the greatest amount of sodium in the urine were twice as likely to have hypertension than those with lower levels.
More than 40 percent of the group were classified as suffering from hypertension (high blood pressure). They tended to be older, over 64 years, has a body mass index and high levels of sodium in the urine.
There were about the same number of people in Australia, New Zealand, Italy and Greece, born in the study. Those born in Italy and Greece, not cook with salt, which causes high levels of sodium in the urine.
The authors of the study described the results as worrying that most people knew. They had high blood pressure, but still ate large quantities of salt.
The results provide evidence that the current consumption of the high sodium levels in older adults in Australia is associated with high blood pressure, write the authors of the study, published by the Medical Journal of Australia.
These results suggest that the entire population, reducing sodium intake to be effective in lowering blood pressure among adults in Australia”. It’s estimated that one-third of Australians with high blood pressure, a risk factor for the most common cardiovascular disease and were preventable.
However, researchers said it’s difficult for people to reduce salt intake by more than three-quarters of their sodium intake was found in processed foods.
The most effective strategy was to achieve a significant reduction in salt intake of the population, added salt to treat to reduce staple food.
