A pilot study to test the usefulness of food consumption data in estimating Na intake and the sources of Na in the diet was carried out on 154 women and men aged 24-64 yr (mean age 45 yr). The subjects kept food records for 4 consecutive days and collected three 24-h urine samples starting on the 2nd day. The calculation of Na intake was based on both the average Na content of nonprepared and manufactured foods and on the average salt content of different prepared foods and dishes. The 24-h Na excretion averaged 93% of the calculated intake, indicating that this method can give valid results for groups of people at least. Naturally occurring Na constituted .apprx. 13% of the total NA intake and Na from table salt used in food preparation .apprx. 43%. The most important food items were bread, constituting 20% of the Na intake, and sausages and other meat products, providing 12%. The discretionary (consumer-controlled) use of salt was .apprx. 40%, being lowest among men and younger people in general. Food consumption data collected in nutrition surveys could be used for estimating Na intake and sources of Na in the diet of population groups whenever accurate data on the salt content of local foods are available.
