“…A lower, but still statistically significant correlation coefficient for sodium , 0.705 (p<0.001) and calcium, 0.699 (p<0.001) were found. Our data for these elements were similar to some other reported data (4,18). For iron, a correlation coefficient of 0 .463 (p<0.05) was found.…”

SummaryModel diet samples of eight groups (3,16, 40, and 70 years old for both sexes), were analyzed for sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese, aluminum, copper, barium, nickel and molybdenum by using inductively-coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Mineral intakes for 3 year olds were lower than those of other age groups because total food consumption was less. The intake of major elements, Na, K, P, Ca, and Mg, varied within about 20% of each other. The intake of other elements except aluminum fl uctuated within 30% or more of each other. For most of the elements studied, the mineral intakes of 40-year-old males agreed within l6% with results previously obtained by a duplicated portion study.

“…In an attempt to reduce salt consumption to an acceptable level, it is essential to establish current salt intake patterns and the main sources of salt in the diet 3,14 10,15 and compare well with urinary excretion collections 16,17 . To date, no such data are available on salt consumption patterns among Northern Irish consumers.…”

The long‐established association between high salt consumption and hypertension has led to calls for a reduction in salt intake. There is particular concern for the health status of Northern Irish consumers, who already have among the highest rates of coronary heart disease and stroke in the United Kingdom. With these concerns in mind, it is essential to establish the sources and patterns of salt consumption from discretionary and processed food sources before a reduction can be achieved. This study investigated differences in salt consumption patterns among consumers of varying socio‐economic status. Research consisted of a consumer questionnaire (n= 360) distributed within Northern Ireland. The results of the study revealed high discretionary salt usage and frequent consumption of processed foods among consumers of lower socio‐economic status. General observations from the questionnaire would suggest a need for improved health education for consumers in this group. The objective of health promotion should be to encourage a reduction in table and cooking salt usage and, in particular, in the consumption of highly salted processed foods. Enhanced product labelling is also encouraged to increase consumer awareness of current salt levels in food and of the availability of low‐salt foods. In addition, the results of this study advocate further development activity in the production of product formulations with low‐salt status.
