Additional Information
Numerator: Number of persons aged 2 years and older who report consuming less than
or equal to 2,400 mg of sodium daily.
Denominator: Number of persons aged 2 years and older.
Population Targeted: U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population.
The baseline estimates include consideration of several sources of sodium intake:
foods, dietary supplements, tap water, and salt use at the table. However, they
do not include sodium intake from antacids and other medications. In addition, a
statistical procedure was used to remove the within-person variation in daily sodium
intakes from food, and thus provide better estimates of usual intake of sodium with
the use of dietary data per individual (that is, 1 day of dietary data for all NHANES
respondents and 2-day dietary data for a subset).
It is possible that update estimates for certain population segments may be available
annually for this objective, whereas estimates for smaller subgroups will require
multiyear data.
Regarding salt use at the table, sea salt, flavored salts such as garlic, onion,
and celery salt, and seasoning salts were counted as ordinary salts. Lite salt was
labeled as such and has a reduced sodium content. Salt substitutes do not contain
sodium. To obtain a daily amount for each person, the amount of sodium depending
on salt type was multiplied by the frequency value. (Sodium in type of salt x frequency
amount of sodium from table salt added per day.)
Type of salt: A zero sodium value was assigned for "none" and "salt substitute."
For "ordinary salt," 290 mg (for "very often" code) was assigned for persons aged
2 to 19 years, and 580 mg was assigned for persons aged 20 years and older. For
"lite" salt, 145 mg was assigned for persons aged 2 to 19 years, and 290 mg was
assigned for persons aged 20 years and older. For missing values, a default of "ordinary
salt" was assigned.
Frequency of salt use: for "rarely" sodium value was multiplied by 0.25; for "occasionally,"
sodium value was multiplied by 0.50; for "very often," sodium value was multiplied
by 1; for missing values, "occasionally" was used as the default.
Drinking water: If home drinking water had a water softening or conditioning system,
ounces of water consumed were multiplied by 3 mg per fluid ounce; otherwise water
was counted as unsoftened. 1 mg per fluid ounce was used for "regular" municipal
water based on the USDA food composition database. To get daily sodium from drinking
water, the mg of sodium per fluid ounce was multiplied by the number of fluid ounces.
Dietary supplements: Sodium from dietary supplements reported in the survey was
calculated. If supplement data were missing, then it was assumed that no sodium
was provided by supplements but the individual was kept in the calculation.
Breast-feeding children aged 2 years and older were excluded from the analysis.
