“…33 A 2013 Institute of Medicine report addressing dietary sodium identified the reduction of excess sodium intake as a public health priority and linked success of reduction efforts to decreasing sodium in the environment. 33, 34 High-fat, salty snacks are also a common source of saturated fat and added sugar. 32 Higher intakes of saturated fat are linked to higher levels of total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, recognized risk factors for cardiovascular disease.…”

In US secondary schools, vending machines and school stores are a common source of low-nutrient, energy-dense snacks and beverages, including sugar-sweetened beverages, high fat salty snacks and candy. However, little is known about the prevalence of these food practices in alternative schools, educational settings for students at risk of academic failure due to truancy, school expulsion and behavioral problems. Nationwide, over 5000 alternative schools enroll about one-half million students, who are disproportionately minority and low-income youth. Principal survey data from a cross-sectional sample of alternative (n=104) and regular (n=339) schools collected biennially from 2002–2008 as part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Minnesota School Health Profiles were used to assess and compare food practice prevalence over time. Generalized estimating equation models were used to estimate prevalence, adjusting for school demographics. Over time, food practice prevalence decreased significantly for both alternative and regular schools, although declines were mostly modest. However, the decrease in high fat, salty snacks was significantly less for alternative than regular schools (−22.9% versus −42.2%; p<0.0001). Efforts to improve access to healthy food choice at school should reach all schools, including alternative schools. Study findings suggest high fat salty snacks are more common in vending machines and school stores in alternative schools than regular schools, which may contribute to increased snacking behavior among students and extra consumption of salt, fat and sugar. Study findings support the need to include alternative schools in future efforts that aim to reform the school food environment.

“…43 In a recent report, the Institute of Medicine concluded that there is inadequate evidence to suggest dietary sodium <1500 mg/day in any population and that, specifically for HF, more data are needed to establish appropriate targets. 44 Therefore, testing the recommended level for at-risk populations (1500 mg/d) vs. (3000 mg/d) would achieve a reasonable balance between ethical and trial concerns. No data exist on the effect of 1500- vs. 3000-mg/d sodium diets on HFrEF outcomes to inform sample size for a full-scale clinical trial.…”
