About this study

Official title: Sodium Intake: Research for the Improvement in Measurement Methods and the Effect of Sodium Intake on Cardiovascular Health

Epidemiological, clinical and animal-experimental evidence shows a direct relationship between dietary sodium intake, blood pressure and cardiovascular event. Diverse questionnaire and 24 hour urinary sodium measurement are used to estimate sodium intake. Complete reflection of eating and cooking habits to the dietary survey method is difficult. Furthermore, the differences of database between countries make it difficult to compare the amount of sodium intake between countries. It is also difficult to consider individual variation of cooking and eating habits. Due to limitations of dietary survey method, WHO recommended 24 hour urinary sodium measurement to estimated sodium intake in the population survey, and many countries are adopting. However, in Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, only dietary survey method has been used.

The present survey study was designed 1) to test the feasibility of 24 hour urinary sodium measurement for the estimation of sodium intake (including percentage of complete 24 hour urine sample collection) in the population based study; 2) to establish feasible method of 24 hour urinary sodium measurement; 3) to compare 24 hour urinary sodium measurement to the dietary survey method; and 4) to estimate the sodium intake by 24 hour urinary sodium measurement in Goyang city general population (aged 20-70 years).

Measurements: should be performed for 2 days

  1. 24 hour urine Na, K and Creatinine, 24 hour urine amount
  2. Calculation of urine completeness index : Creatinine/(21 x Bwt)

  4. 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure
  5. mobile-O-graph (IEM GmbH)
  6. measurement interval: 30 minutes
  7. Measurement of peripheral blood pressure : microlife WatchBP office
  8. Sitting position
  9. After 5 minutes resting
  10. Peripheral systolic BP (pSBP), Peripheral diastolic BP (pDBP),
  11. Central aortic blood pressure
  12. SphygmoCor (AtCor Medical, Australia)
  13. Central systolic blood pressure
  14. Pulse wave velocity
  15. VP2000 (Colin, Japan)
  16. pulse wave velocity (PWV): carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity, heart-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity and brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity
  17. distance measured by tape: distance from suprasternal notch to carotid artery, distance from suprasternal notch to femoral artery
  18. Silent environment
  19. Electrocardiography
  20. Blood chemistry and complete blood count
  21. Measure at the morning of first day after overnight fasting
  22. complete blood count, blood urea nitrogen/Creatinine, Fasting blood glucose, Total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol

  4. start 24 hour urine collection from 9:00 AM (with education for complete collection)
  5. start 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, in parallel with 24 hour urine collection
  6. 2nd day

representitives of Goyang city1. Representative population of Goyang city who were randomly selected by digit dialing (RDD) method 2. Volunteers who are reside in Goyang city

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Sodium intake in a studied community

    Sodium intake of a community population is measured by 24 hour urinary sodium excretion

    Measured: Cross-section

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The association between 24 hour urinary sodium excretion and ambulatory blood pressure

    Measured: Cross-sectional

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sodium Intake and General Population, run by DongGuk University at 1 site in South Korea.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in South Korea. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Sodium intake in a studied community (time frame: Cross-section). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Jan 2013.
