Magnitude of the BP Epidemic 54% of strokes and 47% of coronary heart disease events attributed to elevated BP 1 26% of adults worldwide (971 million) have hypertension 2 Lifetime risk 3 of developing hypertension is 90% 1 Lawes CM Lancet 2008;371:1513 2 Kearney Lancet 2005;305:217 3 Vasan JAMA 2002; 287:1003

Why the fuss about sodium? Scientific issues specific to sodium Methodologic landmines Challenges of measuring sodium Interpretation of low diet and low urinary sodium excretion High cost of high quality sodium research in humans Other scientific issues, not specific to sodium Interpretation of unexpected j-shaped relationships in observational studies Implications of non-bp effects of BP reducing therapies

Why the fuss about sodium? Commercial interests Cheap ingredient, increases profit Role of government Evidence to guide policy Role of surrogate outcomes Level of evidence for prevention policy when clinical trials with hard outcomes cannot be done

Methodological Issues

Is Sodium Reduction Harmful? Three Lines of Evidence Adverse effects on biomarkers Plasma renin activity, sympathetic nervous system activity, glycemia, lipid levels Epidemiologic studies with inverse or j- shaped relationship Heart failure trials from a single center in Palermo, Italy

No Effect of Reducing Sodium Intake on LDL Cholesterol Typical Diet LDL-C mmol/l +0.04 P=0.3 0.0 P=0.9 DASH Diet Harsha, Hypertension 2004;43;393 1,500 2,400 3,300 Sodium Level: mg/d per day

Major Methodological Challenges in Observational Studies that Relate Sodium Intake to CVD Errors with Greatest Potential to Alter Direction of Association Systematic error in sodium assessment Reverse causality Errors with Some Potential to Alter Direction of Association Residual confounding Imbalance across groups Low follow-up rate 26 studies with 31 independent samples Errors with Potential to Lead to a False Null Random error in sodium assessment On average, 2.5 issues/study Insufficient power

Measurement of Na Intake Optimal Multiple, high quality 24 hour urine collections Suboptimal 24 hour urine collected with limited or no attention to quality control Spot, overnight or timed urines 24 hour dietary recalls Food frequency questionnaire

Hazard Ratio (HR) Case of Systematic Error Leading to Bias: Increased CVD Mortality in Persons with Lowest Na (by Quartile of Na Intake in mg/d) 3 2 1.8 1.94 1.48 P=0.03 Q1 vs Q4 1 1 0 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 1 Cohen, JGIM 2008;23:1297-302 Na Quartile of based on mg of Na/d

Recommendations Sodium Intake

2010 Dietary Guidelines: Sodium Recommendation Reduce intake to less than 2300 mg/day Further reduce intake to 1500 mg/day for: Adults ages 51+ African Americans ages 2+ People ages 2+ with high blood pressure, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease

Conclusion Elevated blood pressure is the leading cause of preventable death worldwide No (minimal) debate about lowering sodium intake to 2,300 mg/d Major methodological issues limit the usefulness of recent studies as a basis for guiding policy, much less reversing recommendations

Bottom Line (Unchanged) The estimated benefits of sodium reduction are substantial and warrant major public health efforts to reduce salt intake Prevailing recommendations align with best evidence and do not warrant any change in policy
