NHANES Urinary Sodium Calibration Study

Completed
Conditions
Nutrition Assessment
Registration Number
NCT01631240
Lead Sponsor
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
Brief Summary

This proposed calibration study is designed to evaluate the correlation of urinary sodium excretion between NHANES timed urine and 24-hour urine collections.

Detailed Description

The study will be conducted with 400 volunteer participants aged 18-39 years old. Participants will be asked to collect urine samples over a 24-hour period. One-third of the participants (n=133) will be asked to collect a second 24-hour urine 4-11 days later. A 24-hour dietary recall interview will be collected after the completion of each 24-hour urine collection. Results from this study will be used to assess how well the sodium excretion estimated from NHANES timed urine correlates with data from 24-hour urine collection. It will provide valuable information on the potential of NHANES timed urine collections to be used to characterize trends in U.S. population sodium intake.
