Abstract

Sodium intake could have an indirect effect on storage symptoms as it is an established fact that it has a correlation to hypertension (HTN). However, clinical support for the correlation of sodium intake to STORAGE symptom remains scarce. Therefore, the present work sought to determine how sodium intake and OAB symptom seriousness were correlated in female individuals based on a cross-sectional research design. Data from 115,578 respondents chosen from 228,921 individuals enrolled in the Korean Community Health Survey (KCHS) were subjected to cross-sectional analysis. The correlation amongst sodium intake and STORAGE symptom was assessed on the basis of estimates of the incidence rate ratio (IRR) with 95% confidence interval (CI). Furthermore, joint correspondence analysis (JCA) was conducted to investigate how a predilection for salty taste was associated with several factors, including STORAGE symptom, socio-economic factors, comorbidities, and dietary habits. By comparison to respondents indicating a neutral predilection for salty taste, those who indicated a predilection for bland and salty taste were 7.1% (IRR = 1.071, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.045–1.097) and 20.5% (IRR = 1.205, p < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.177–1.234) more probable to experience severe STORAGE symptom, within an adjusted model with multiple variables. JCA confirmed the existence of a correlation between predilection for salty taste and STORAGE symptom. A close correlation was established to exist between predilection for salty taste and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), such as voiding and storage symptoms and nocturia. Moreover, sodium intake was found to be a risk factor for LUTS seriousness in both excessive and deficient amount.

Summary

Introduction

Both nutrients of fruit and vegetable origin and micronutrients serve as antioxidants and influence lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) [1,2]. The latest studies in the field of medicine have extensively explored sodium intake in relation to various conditions, such as hypertension (HTN), cardiovascular disease (CVD), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) [3,4]. There are two aspects that can clarify the potential correlation amongst sodium intake and LUTS, namely, the indirect impact of sodium intake through its influence on HTN [4,7]. The direct impact on the epithelial sodium channel of the bladder [8,9]. Sodium intake is such an important risk factor for HTN occurrence or worsening that it has led to the classification of individuals with HTN into two groups with and without sensitivity to sodium intake
