Background: Sodium is stored in skin and may trigger or perpetuate autoimmune diseases including psoriasis. One previous study found skin sodium was elevated in a small group of patients with severe psoriasis compared to healthy controls, but the relationship between sodium intake and psoriasis within a population has not been investigated.
Objectives: To identify whether dietary sodium intake is associated with psoriasis and whether there are subgroups of individuals more likely to have salt-sensitive psoriasis.
Methods: This cross-sectional, population-based study evaluated a UK Biobank cohort of nearly 500,000 participants in the 2006-2010 period and a US-based National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) validation cohort of 2393 participants in the 2003-2004 period. Dietary sodium intake, the exposure, was estimated using urine biomarkers and the previously validated INTERSALT equation. Psoriasis outcome was assessed by the presence of ICD-10 code L40.
Results: In the UK Biobank, of the 468,913 included participants, 54% were female and mean (standard deviation) age at recruitment was 57 (8) years. Multivariable logistic regression models revealed that every 1 g increase in estimated 24-h urine sodium was associated with an 18% increase in odds of psoriasis (OR 1.18, 95% CI: 1.14-1.21) after adjustment for sex, age, race/ethnicity, education and socioeconomic status. There was no consistent evidence of large effect modification by age, sex, race/ethnicity, polygenic risk score for psoriasis or those with a history of hypertension, chronic renal failure or type 2 diabetes mellitus. In NHANES, each additional gram of self-reported dietary sodium intake was also associated with increased odds of examination-confirmed psoriasis (OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.19-1.83).
Conclusions: Increased sodium intake was associated with psoriasis in two population-based cohorts; future clinical trials could investigate whether decreasing sodium intake improves psoriasis.

Canadian children consume a significant proportion of daily foods at school, do not benefit from any federal school food program, and have historically inadequate diets. Assessment of dietary intakes at school can inform policy discussions for the design, funding, and delivery of school-based nutrition interventions. The objectives were to examine the most recent nationally representative dietary intake data of Canadian children at school by (i) location of food preparation, (ii) meal occasion, and (iii) as a proportion of total daily intakes.

The current study aims to describe the levels and sources of dietary sodium intake among Nigerian adults to inform targeted policies for reducing sodium intake. Methods From June 2023 to July 2023, adults aged 18 to 70 years old were recruited from the Federal Capital Territory, Kano States, and Ogun States to participate in a population-based, cross-sectional non-communicable diseases survey.

Unlabelled: Low-sodium salt has a protective effect on BMD and also reduces the risk of osteopenia due to elevated blood glucose. This provides a direct and effective way to improve bone health in patients with hyperglycemia.
Objective: There is no consensus on the relationship between salt type and bone mineral density (BMD).

Low diet quality is related to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) risk among Hispanic women. This cross-sectional study compared diet quality among Hispanic women with overweight/obesity based on their T2DM diagnosis (pre-diabetes/T2DM group, n = 104 vs no diagnosis, at-risk group, n = 84). It was hypothesized that having a pre-diabetes or T2DM diagnosis would be associated with better diet quality based on the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020 score.
