Abstract:

Objective: To identify the associated factors to high salt intake in the adult Brazilian population. Methods: Cross-sectional study of 8,083 adults participating in the National Health Survey (PNS, 2014/15). Salt consumption was based on the estimation of 24-hour urinary sodium calculatedthe sodium/creatinine ratio in urine spot. High salt intake was considered by the highest quartile of the distribution. The relationbetween high salt intake and sociodemographic factors, lifestyles, morbidity, and self-rated health status was analyzed by calculating the raw prevalence ratios and the prevalence ratios adjusted for age and sex. Results: 28.1% had an estimated salt consumption greater than 10.56 g/day. The presence of overweight (Adjusted Prevalence Ratio; CI95% - RPad 1.23; 1.09-1.39), obesity (RPad 1.61; 1.43-1.83) and diabetes (RPad 1.36; 1.17-1.58) were positively associated with high salt intake. Protective factors were female gender (RPad 0.73; 0.66-0.80), high schooling (RPad 0.88; 0.79-0.99), living in the North and presence of chronic kidney disease (RPad 0.71; 0.56-0.90).Conclusion: Salt consumption is high in the whole country and in all subgroups of the population, requiring coordinated actions to face it.
