Sažetak
It is generally accepted that excessive salt intake is a major determinant contributing to the increased rate of hypertension in the population, but assessment of daily salt intake is a highly challenging issue. The gold standard in determining salt in the body is estimating salt intake in 24-hour urine. The 24-hour urine collection method usually burdens respondents, leading to incomplete data and, consequently, exclusion of respondents from research. Analysis of random urine sample is used as an alternative. The authors of the studies analyzed in this paper used several predictive equations and the results suggest that sodium values of the predictive equations differed signifi cantly from the measured 24-hour values and that the reliability of the equations was unsatisfactory. In conclusion, considering a continuous increase in the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, it becomes necessary to develop an appropriate method of measuring 24-hour urine for estimating daily salt intake in the population.
