摘要: Abstract Background & aims In June 2016, South Africa implemented legislation mandating maximum sodium levels in a range of processed foods with goal reducing population salt intake and disease burden from hypertension. Our aim was to explore the relationship between blood pressure (BP) subsample World Health Organization Study on global AGEing adult health (SAGE) Wave 2 before implementation Africa. Methods results Blood measured triplicate (n = 2722; median age 56 years; 33% male) 24-h urine collected nested (n = 526) for sodium, potassium creatinine analysis. Hypertension prevalence 55% older adults (50-plus years) 28% younger (18–49 years). Median (6.8 g/day) higher than (8.6 g vs 6.1 g/day; p Conclusion These preliminary indicate that high dietary Na:K ratio may lead greater increase BP hypertension risk age. Interventions intakes alongside reduction initiatives be warranted.
