Abstract
Accurate monitoring of daily salt intake is essential to reinforce strategies to reduce sodium/salt intake in a population. 24-hour urinary sodium excretion method is the gold standard for estimating population salt intake. Several formulae to evaluate sodium intake have been derived in different populations. However, data on performance of estimating formulae based on spot urine against 24-hour urinary sodium excretion method are sparse in India. The present study aimed to measure the daily salt intake using 24-hour urinary sodium in North Indians and to assess performance of spot urine-based salt intake estimating equations against measured using 24-hour urine.
