Abstract
(type = abstract)
Research shows that high sodium consumption is positively correlated with hypertension. However, little is known about variations on the impact of high sodium consumption on hypertension among a variety of adult American subpopulations. This study investigated the impact of sodium on hypertension in a variety of adult America subpopulations by conducting an analysis of Centers for Disease Control's (CDC) National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 24-hour dietary recall data from 2005-2014. Participants ages 20 years and above were used in the study. Analysis of the data included applying weighted factors to the selected sample to account for sampling bias and allow for accurate comparisons between samples and population estimates. Data analysis was done using SAS version 9.4 Software Package. There was a decrease in the two year period 2007-2008 of sodium consumption and a increase in hypertension rate. There was no significant change in sodium consumption from 2005-2014. Fifty four percent of the people consumed more than the daily recommended sodium intake by the American dietary guidelines. Results showed that African Americans consumed more sodium than any other race in America. Also, African Americans have the highest hypertensive rate in the study. Highly educated individuals consume more than the recommended amount of sodium (2300mg) compared to those with less than high school education. On the contrary, the results further shows that less educated participants had higher blood pressure than the more educated individuals. It was found that, low income earners consumed more sodium but middle income earners had highest hypertension. Male consume more sodium than their females counter parts and has higher hypertension than females. The results shows that 98% of the participants had isolated systolic hypertension and as people age, their blood pressure becomes higher. The results further shows participants with higher BMI consume more sodium and had higher blood pressure. Also, the more you age the higher your blood pressure. The study highlighted areas that can be targeted for designing health intervention programs that will be targeted to specific subgroups of the American population.
