Obesity Feb 08, 2021
Zhao L, Ogden CL, Yang Q, et al. - Using logistic regression, researchers sought to explore the connection between usual sodium intake and obesity in US children and adolescents. They analyzed cross‐sectional data for 9,026 children and adolescents in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2009‐2016. Data reported that mean (SE) sodium intake was 3,010 (9) and 3,404 (20) mg/d for children and adolescents, respectively. According to findings, sodium intake among US children, independent of energy and SSB intake, was positively correlated with overweight/obesity, obesity, and central obesity, but the association did not gain significance among adolescents.
