title: Self-reports of salt intake by 10- to 18-year-olds: relationship to urinary sodium excretion.
abstract: Our data indicated that self-reports of consumption of salty foods by children and adolescents were associated with 24-hour urinary sodium excretion. Specifically, youths 10 to 18 years of age who selected a poster depicting high-sodium foods excreted significantly more sodium than youths who selected a poster depicting low-sodium foods. Future research is needed to refine simplified self-report measures, to corroborate the validity of the measures, and to extend the studies to other samples, e.g., younger children.
