| Abstract (English): | Introduction: A new online, self-administered questionnaire called the "Sodium Calculator" (SC) was developed in Mexico, designed to provide immediate feedback on their sodium intake. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and concurrent criterion validity of the SC for estimating sodium intake in the Mexican population. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Mexico City and the State of Mexico with 353 healthy participants. Data collection included 24-hour urine samples for sodium measurement, physical measurements (height and weight), and a three-day food diary. One week later, participants completed the SC again. Statistical analysis involved the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland-Altman plots, sensitivity (Sn), specificity (Sp), and binary logistic regression, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The SC tended to overestimate sodium intake by approximately 2524 mg compared to 24-hour urinary sodium. The ICC between SC and urine measurements was 0.18 (95% CI 0.33-0.59), and 0.46 (95% CI 0.31-0.58) for test-retest reliability. The sensitivity of the SC for detecting intake > 2300 mg was 82.87%, but specificity was low at 25.71%. The odds ratio for identifying individuals with intake > 2000 mg was 4.32 (CI = 2.49-7.48, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The SC showed moderate test-retest reliability. However, the low agreement with 24-hour urinary sodium excretion (UNa), prevents it from being validated as an accurate quantitative measure of daily sodium intake. Despite these limitations, the SC shows promise as a screening tool. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Introducción: En México un nuevo cuestionario autoadministrado y en línea llamado "Calculadora de Sodio" (CS), fue diseñado para proporcionar retroalimentación inmediata sobre la ingesta de sodio. Objetivo: Evaluar la fiabilidad y la validez concurrente de la CS para estimar la ingesta de sodio en la población mexicana. Materiales y métodos: Estudio transversal, en la Ciudad de México y el Estado de México con 353 participantes sanos. La recolección de datos incluyó muestras de orina de 24 horas para la medición de sodio, mediciones físicas (altura y peso) y un diario de alimentos de tres días. Una semana después, los participantes completaron nuevamente la CS. El análisis estadístico involucró el análisis de coeficiente de correlación intraclase (CCI), gráficos de Bland-Altman, sensibilidad (Sn), especificidad (Sp) y regresión logística binaria, con significancia establecida en p < 0,05. Resultados: La CS tendió a sobreestimar la ingesta de sodio en aproximadamente 2524 mg en comparación con el sodio urinario de 24 horas. El CCI entre la CS y las mediciones de orina fue de 0,18 (IC 95% 0,33-0,59), y 0,46 (IC 95% 0,31-0,58) para la fiabilidad test-retest. La sensibilidad de la CS para detectar ingestas > 2300 mg fue del 82,87%, sin embargo la especificidad fue baja, del 25,71%. La razón de probabilidades para identificar individuos con ingesta > 2000 mg fue de 4,32 (IC = 2,49-7,48, p < 0,001). Conclusiones: La CS mostró una fiabilidad test-retest moderada. Sin embargo, el bajo acuerdo con la excreción urinaria de sodio de 24 horas (UNa) impide que se valide como una medida cuantitativa precisa de la ingesta diaria de sodio. A pesar de estas limitaciones, la CS muestra potencial como herramienta de tamizaje. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
