Effect of a Salt Substitute on Incidence of Hypertension and Hypotension Among Normotensive Adults
JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF CARDIOLOGY(2024)
摘要
BACKGROUND Reports on the effects of salt substitution among individuals with normal blood pressure are scarce and controversial. OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess the effects of a salt substitute (62.5% NaCl, 25% KCl, and 12.5% flavorings) on incidence of hypertension and hypotension among older adults with normal blood pressure. METHOD A post hoc analysis was conducted among older adults with normal blood pressure participating in DECIDESalt, a large, multicenter, cluster -randomized trial in 48 elderly care facilities for 2 years. We used the frailty survival model to compare risk of incident hypertension and the generalized linear mixed model to compare risk of hypotension episodes. RESULTS Compared with usual salt group (n = 298), the salt substitute group (n = 313) had a lower hypertension incidence (11.7 vs 24.3 per 100 person -years; adjusted HR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.39 to 0.92; P = 0.02) but did not increase incidence of hypotension episodes (9.0 vs 9.7 per 100 person -years; P = 0.76). Mean systolic/diastolic blood pressure did not increase from the baseline to the end of intervention in the salt substitute group (mean changes: -0.3 +/- 11.9/0.2 +/- 7.1 mm Hg) but increased in the usual salt group (7.0 +/- 14.3/2.1 +/- 7.5 mm Hg), resulting in a net reduction of -8.0 mm Hg (95% CI: -12.4 to -3.7 mm Hg) in systolic and -2.0 mm Hg (95% CI: -4.1 to 0.1 mm Hg) in diastolic blood pressure between intervention groups. CONCLUSIONS In Chinese older adults with normal blood pressure, replacing usual salt with a salt substitute may reduce the incidence of hypertension without increasing hypotension episodes. This suggests a desirable strategy for population -wide prevention and control of hypertension and cardiovascular disease, deserving further consideration in future studies.
