Description
Summary:We have studied population’s nutrition in the Republic of Dagestan (Northern Caucasus), taking regions opposite in hypertension prevalence, by method of questionnaires, food samples and measuring sodium and potassium excretion. We have studied 98 patients in high prevalence in region and 83 with low incidence of hypertension.In the region with low incidence of hypertension protein (p< 0,001), unrefined carbohydrates (p< 0,001) and fiber (p< 0,001) intake was higher, daily sodium excretion was equal to 10,97g NaCl, drinking water was low in mineral contents (120-180 mg/l) and cations ranged as follows: Ca > Mg > Na.In the region with high incidence of hypertension refined carbohydrates (p< 0,001) and cholesterol (p< 0,001) intake was higher, daily sodium excretion was equal to 24,81g NaCl, drinking water was high in mineral contents (543,01 mg/l) and cations ranged as follows: Na > Ca > K > Mg.
