Compared to participants with a long-term healthy diet and no calcium consumption, the combination of a long-term healthy diet and calcium consumption was linked to a lower risk of CVD (IRR = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.78; 0.96). In conclusion, a long-term healthy diet combined with MVM or fish oil was associated with a lower incidence of CVD. Participants who maintained a healthy diet and used calcium supplements were associated with a lower incidence of obesity. However, these associations were not found among those with an unhealthy diet, despite taking similar supplements.]]> Wed 28 Sep 2022 14:35:09 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41975 Tue 16 Aug 2022 15:48:47 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41918 Tue 16 Aug 2022 14:24:31 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54582 Tue 14 May 2024 15:30:17 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46909 Thu 08 Dec 2022 08:26:11 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32808 Mon 23 Sep 2019 10:55:19 AEST ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35027 9 g/day. Results: Median daily sodium excretion was equivalent to 6.3 g salt/day (range 1–43 g/day); 35% had urinary sodium excretion values within the desirable range (<5 g salt/day), 37% had high values (5–9 g salt/day) and 28% had very high values (>9 g salt/day). Median UIC was 130 µg/L (IQR=58–202), indicating population iodine sufficiency (≥100 µg/L). Both UIC and UIE differed across salt intake categories (p<0.001) and were positively correlated with estimated salt intake (r=0.166 and 0.552, respectively; both p<0.001). Participants with salt intakes of <5 g/day were not meeting the Estimated Average Requirement for iodine intake (95 µg/day). Conclusions: In a nationally representative sample of South African adults, the association between indicators of population iodine status (UIC and UIE) and salt intake, estimated using 24-hour urinary sodium excretion, indicate that low salt intakes may compromise adequacy of iodine intakes in a country with mandatory iodisation of table salt. The iodine status of populations undergoing salt reduction strategies needs to be closely monitored to prevent re-emergence of iodine deficiency.]]> Mon 03 Jun 2019 14:03:50 AEST ]]>
