Objective Hypertension (HTN) is common in diabetic patients and sodium restriction studies for hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients(T2D) showed favorable results in BP managment. Recently, lower 24-h urinary sodium excretion is paradoxically associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in T2D. We briefly investigated the correlation among sodium intake and other cardiovascular markers in T2D. Methods In a cross-sectional study sample with T2D in KNHANES V-1, sodium intake among age groups was explored using 24hour recall method and compared among different BMI, smoking, systolic and diastolic blood pressure groups (SBP/DPB). Results Sodium intake was different among age groups in patients with T2D and well correlated with other cardiovascular markers. Conclusion Sodium restriction was well correlated with multiple cardiovascular markers in T2D. These finding suggested that benefits of sodium restriction could not be restricted to mere BP lowering effect. Further investigation should be needed to confirm these observation and find underlying mechanisms.
