High Salt Intake Health Risk Debunked?

High-salt diets may not increase the risk of death, contrary to long-
held medical beliefs, according to investigators from the Albert
Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University.

They reached their conclusion after examining dietary intake among a
nationally representative sample of adults in the U.S. The Einstein
researchers actually observed a significantly increased risk of death
from cardiovascular disease (CVD) associated with lower sodium diets.

The researchers analyzed data from the Third National Health and
Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III), which was conducted by the
federal government among a nationally representative sample of U.S.
adults. These data were then compared against death records that had
been collected by the government through the year 2000. The sample of
approximately 8,700 represented American adults who were over 30 years
of age at the time of the baseline survey (1988-1994) and were not on
a special low-salt diet.

After adjusting for known CVD risk factors, such as smoking, diabetes
and blood pressure, the one-fourth of the sample who reported
consuming the lowest amount of sodium were found to be 80% more likely
to die from CVD compared to the one-fourth of the sample consuming the
highest level of sodium. The risk for death from any cause appeared
24% greater for those consuming lower salt, but this latter difference
was not quite large enough to dismiss the role of chance.

“Our findings suggest that for the general adult population, higher
sodium is very unlikely to be independently associated with higher
risk of death from CVD or all other causes of death,” says Dr. Hillel
W. Cohen, associate professor of epidemiology and population health at
Einstein.

Since the first NHANES survey in the early 1970s, data from NHANES
have been used extensively to describe patterns of nutrition and
health in the U.S. The results from this current study are consistent
with findings reported previously from two earlier NHANES surveys.
While the federal government currently repeats NHANES surveys every
two years, NHANES III is the latest available survey that can be
compared with later death records.

Since NHANES III was an observational study and not a clinical trial,
no definite conclusions about cause and effect were possible, says Dr.
Cohen. “However, our findings do again raise questions about the
usefulness or evensafety of universal recommendations for lower salt
diets for all individuals, regardless of their blood pressure status
or other health characteristics,” he cautions.
