Lopes, CMM; Torres, Duarte; Goios, ACL; Severo, MThis study aimed to assess the extent to which first-morning void (FMV) urine samples can estimate sodium and potassium excretion compared with 24-hour (24-h) urine samples at the population level. We conducted a cross-sectional study collecting urine samples (FMV and 24-h) and two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls in a sub-sample from the Portuguese IAN-AF sampling frame. Six predictive equations were used ...

Ahles, A; Muhammad, A; Yenerall, JN; Reedy, J; Shi, P; Zhang, J; Cudhea, F; Erndt-Marino, J; Miller, V; Mozaffarian, D; Abbott, P; Abdollahi, MObjective When considering proposals to improve diets, it is important to understand how factors like price and income can affect saturated fat (SF) intake and demand. In this study, we examine and estimate the influence of price and income on intake across 160 countries, by age and sex, and derive sensitivity measures (price elasticities) that vary by age, sex and world region. Design We econometrically estima...
