¿Si se acuerdan que el sodio es un nutriente esencial? El cuerpo no lo fabrica por lo que hay que obtenerlo de la dieta. Algunos estudios incluso han encontrado que es mas peligroso tener muy bajo consumo de sodio vs muy alto. https://t.co/SsX8iYqK4N https://t.co/RcrSaeS7jB

What people are saying
The overall discussions demonstrate a nuanced understanding of the study, with posters noting that low sodium intake may increase mortality risks, while some highlight the importance of balance and the sodium-potassium ratio, using scientific language and referencing specific data points and physiological concepts to emphasize the research's significance.
Most discussions support the idea that sodium intake has complex effects on mortality, some emphasizing that both too little and too much can be harmful.
The discussions show high engagement with scientific findings, highlighting debates on optimal sodium intake levels and implications for health.
Participants reference specific studies, data interpretations, and physiological mechanisms, indicating active analysis rather than surface-level comments.
The conversations suggest these findings could influence health guidelines, with debates about dietary recommendations potentially altering public health strategies.
Abstract in brief
- The WHO has guidelines for sodium and potassium intake, but there's ongoing debate about how these affect mortality, prompting an analysis of NHANES data from 2003-2018.
- The study included 13,855 participants aged 40-80 years, using dietary recalls to estimate sodium and potassium intake, and employing Cox models to evaluate mortality risks.
- Results indicated that both sodium and potassium intake showed non-linear relationships with overall mortality, revealing specific inflection points for optimal intake levels.

Most liked on X and BlueskyAccording to a new NHANES study, people tend to eat TOO LITTLE sodium (salt)! The popular belief is that sodium is unhealthy. Research shows the opposite. A caveat: patients with a high blood pressure probably benefit from lower sodium. https://t.co/wCf4kzFiTa
@PiEqualsThreeVP Do electrolyte blood test, check if sodium/potasium isn't too low or in incorrect ratio https://t.co/AfDswZpZJb
@ggkuhnle On a population level, lower sodium intake increases risk of CVD and death: https://t.co/jdE3kWmAhd,(see%20Supplement%20Figure%203). Whereas we can drop systolic pressures 30+ pts with fasting and/or carbohydrate restriction. The net outcomes for sodium reduction is harm.

@supernalle1000 @MariaNordin Etkö usko parhaita tieteellisiä julkaisuja? 10 grammaa NaCl on 4000 milligrammaa Na (sodium). Kuvasta näemme, että kuolleisuus on isompi jos saat ALLE 2500 mg Na. Isompi määrä ei haittaa. https://t.co/wCf4kzFiTa https://t.co/UTNuryWAdx

@lsjMD @Heart_BMJ Interesting facts. Extremes are not ever healthy. ... low sodium intake is associated with an increased overall mortality rate.... I'm sure that high intake is detrimental as well... https://t.co/uGcn2v4FCO
@LionBlogosphere Considering that salt is only 40% sodium, the ideal salt consumption appears to be higher than what has often been recommended: https://t.co/s4eK1N58o9
@cs_deathmatch Getting less sodium is actually not necessarily as important as having the correct sodium to potassium ratio. High sodium has less of a relationship with mortality than low potassium. Sources: https://t.co/yC23fxDz41 https://t.co/4NAbFSGq60
@MineralChief Or am I reading the graph wrong? The age 40-60 year olds all-cause mortality risk is going down and down and down the further their salt intake went up! It’s crazy. But then the over 60s have a very different story - kind of the opposite in fact. https://t.co/Ym9rUOvWum
