背景和目标
过量的盐摄入会导致高血压。根据以前的研究，缅甸的高血压患病率高于韩国。我们假设缅甸成年人有更高的咸味阈值，吃更咸的食物。这项研究旨在比较缅甸和韩国成年人的盐味觉阈值和盐使用行为评分。
方法和研究设计
这项横断面研究招募了2014年8月在韩国Ansung和缅甸Hlegu和巴戈的志愿者医疗服务诊所就诊的患者。我们测量了每位患者的生命体征、身高和体重，并评估了检测阈值、识别阈值和盐偏好。所有患者均行尿常规检查和尿钠试验。此外，他们还完成了一份盐使用行为问卷。
结果
共入组131例患者，包括64例缅甸患者和67例韩国患者。缅甸人的血压明显高于韩国人。检测和识别阈值，盐的喜好，和现场尿钠和盐的使用行为得分也高于缅甸比韩国的主题。我们计算了收缩压和与盐摄入量相关的参数之间的相关系数。检测和识别阈值与收缩压显著相关。
结论
与盐摄入量相关的所有参数，包括检测和识别阈值、盐偏好、盐使用行为评分和现场尿钠浓度，缅甸人显著高于韩国人。
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Excessive oral salt intake can induce hypertension. According to previous studies, the prevalence of hypertension is higher in Myanmar than in Korea. We postulated that Myanmar adults had higher salt taste thresholds and eat much saltier food. This study aimed to compare salt taste thresholds and salt usage behaviour scores between adults in Myanmar and Korea.
METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN
This cross-sectional study enrolled patients who visited volunteer medical service clinics at Ansung in Korea and Hlegu and Bago in Myanmar in August 2014. We measured the vital signs, heights, and weights of each patient and evaluated detection thresholds, recognition thresholds, and salt preferences. All patients underwent urinalysis and spot urine Na tests. Additionally, they each completed a salt usage behaviour questionnaire.
RESULTS
A total of 131 patients were enrolled, including 64 Myanmarese patients and 67 Korean patients. Blood pressure was significantly higher in the Myanmarese than in the Koreans. Detection and recognition thresholds, salt preferences, and spot urine sodium and salt usage behaviour scores were also higher in the Myanmarese than in the Korean subjects. We calculated correlation coefficients between systolic blood pressure and parameters that were related to salt intake. The detection and recognition thresholds were significantly correlated with systolic blood pressure.
CONCLUSION
All parameters related to salt intake, including detection and recognition thresholds, salt preference, salt usage behaviour scores and spot urine sodium concentrations, are significantly higher in Myanmarese than in Korean individuals.
