Abstract

To explore the association of perceived salt intake (SI) level with arterial stiffness in the community population in northern China. We enrolled participants who completed the health questionnaire, physical examination, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) test during 2010-2019 and divided them into <6 g (low SI), 6-10 g (medium SI), and >10 g (high SI) groups based on their daily SI. The influence of SI on baPWV was analyzed using the multivariate logistic regression model. A total of 36324 subjects, aged (49.10 ± 12.57) years with a male to female ratio of 25934 : 10390, met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled. The average baPWV was (1527.73 ± 355.61) cm/s. Logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for other confounders, daily SI>10 g (high SI) was a risk factor for arterial stiffness (baPWV ≥1400 cm/s), with the odds ratio (95% confidence interval [CI]) of 1.17 (1.04-1.31). High SI is independently associated with arterial stiffness.
