Article Synopsis
- Accurate quantification of sodium intake via self-reported surveys has been problematic, prompting researchers to use machine-learning (ML) algorithms to better predict urinary sodium excretion based on questionnaire data.
- The study involved 3,454 participants from major health studies and found ML predictions of sodium excretion were more reliable than traditional food frequency questionnaires, showing stronger correlations and better calibration.
- However, while ML improved predictions overall, it was still heavily influenced by body size and did not significantly reduce measurement errors related to disease outcomes.
