For many years, a high sodium intake has been discussed as a potential risk factor in the development of hypertension and, consequently, cardiovascular diseases. As part of the German Health Interview and Examination Survey for Adults (DEGS1), which was conducted between 2008 and 2011, sodium excretion in casual urine samples was used as a biomarker to measure sodium intake. DEGS1 observed that the median daily sodium intake of women (3.4 g) as well as men (4.0 g) exceeds the levels recommended by German and international organisations. Among other factors, men's higher sodium intake could be explained by their higher energy intake. In addition, DEGS1 demonstrates an association between women's sodium intake and age; however, no equivalent correlation was identified for men. Furthermore, although high socio-economic status is associated with lower sodium intake in men, no comparable correlation was observed among women.
多年来,高钠摄入一直被视为高血压乃至心血管疾病发展的潜在风险因素。作为2008年至2011年开展的德国成年人健康访谈与检查调查(DEGS1)的一部分,随机尿样中的钠排泄被用作衡量钠摄入的生物标志物。DEGS1观察到,女性(3.4克)和男性(4.0克)的日均钠摄入量中位数均超过了德国和国际组织推荐的水平。在其他因素中,男性较高的钠摄入量可以用其较高的能量摄入来解释。此外,DEGS1表明女性的钠摄入量与年龄之间存在关联;然而,未发现男性有类似的相关性。此外,尽管社会经济地位高与男性较低的钠摄入量相关,但在女性中未观察到类似的相关性。
