Salt taste Sensitivity Thresholds in adolescents: are there any relationships with body composition and blood pressure levels?
Appetite, 2014Co-Authors: Vanessa Ramos Kirsten, Mário Bernardes WagnerAbstract:The aim of this study was to identify the salt taste Sensitivity Thresholds and relationships with body composition and blood pressure levels in a cross-sectional study of adolescents. Blood pressure and body composition were measured with a digital device and by anthropometry, respectively. The salt taste Sensitivity Threshold was measured with 9 solutions with different sodium chloride concentrations to assess the Sensitivity to saltiness. The solutions (4, 8, 15, 30, 60, 120, 250, 500 and 1000 mmol/L sodium chloride) were served in increasing concentrations until the taste was correctly identified. The taste Sensitivity Threshold was then classified as normal or high. In total, 421 adolescents (55.6% female), with an average age of 15.8 ± 0.91 years, were evaluated. The median Threshold was 30 mmol/L, and 36.1% had a high Threshold. The high blood pressure prevalence was 12.6%, and 25.5% of the subjects were overweight. When the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels were compared between the normal and increased Threshold groups after adjusting for gender, age, sedentary lifestyle and body mass index, only diastolic blood pressure showed a statistically significant effect (P

Salt taste Sensitivity Threshold and exercise-induced hypertension.
Appetite, 2009Co-Authors: Mendel Rabin, Carlos Eduardo Poli De Figueiredo, Mário Bernardes Wagner, Ivan Carlos Ferreira AntonelloAbstract:Abstract Salt taste Sensitivity is the capacity to identify the flavour of salt. It is possible that salt taste Sensitivity Threshold (STST) can influence salt appetite, and sodium ingestion is associated with hypertension. The present study evaluates the relationship between salt taste Sensitivity Threshold (STST) and blood pressure (BP) response to exercise during a treadmill stress test. Two hundred and three normotensive individuals undergoing evaluation before starting an exercise training program were tested for STST, using concentrated saline solutions from 0.22 to 58.4 g/L. Patients were divided into two groups according to the STST: normal ( n-STST ) and increased ( i-STST ); and into two groups according to their BP response to exercise: exercise-induced hypertension ( EIH ) or physiological blood pressure response ( n-EIH ) . EIH was detected in 49 (24.1%) individuals. Initial systolic and diastolic BP and their areas under the curves during the test were higher in the EIH group. Initial systolic and diastolic BP areas under the curves were significantly higher in i-STST than n-STST. There was an association between STST of at least 1.8 g/L (increased STST) and EIH (OR = 6.71, 95% CI 1.5–29.99) independent of gender, body mass index and age. Occurrence of EIH was associated to i-STST, suggesting that a relationship between high STST and increased BP response to exercise is possible.
