[건강이 최고] Results of a 4-year follow-up survey of 400,000 people at Tulane University in the U.S.
Research has shown that not only sugar but also salt increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
This is the result of a research team led by Professor Lu Chi of Tulane University’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, which tracked and observed the eating habits of 400,000 adults living in the UK.
The research results were recently published in the international academic journal ‘Mayo Clinic Proceedings’.
The research team selected 400,000 people who did not have diabetes, chronic kidney disease, cancer, or cardiovascular disease and had dietary sodium (salt) intake information among those registered in the UK Bio Bank study conducted from March 13, 2006 to October 10, 2010. 2,982 participants were followed and observed for an average of 11.9 years.
As a result, compared to those who ‘never’ or ‘rarely’ added salt, participants who added salt sometimes, usually, or always had a 13%, 20%, and 39% higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, respectively.
Additional research is needed to determine why salt intake increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. However, the research team’s opinion is that inflammation occurs frequently in people who consume a lot of salt, and this is related to the high incidence of obesity.
An official from the research team said, “We already know that limiting salt can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure,” and added, “This study shows that removing salt from the table can help prevent not only cardiovascular disease but also type 2 diabetes.” “I was able to confirm it,” he said.
The official added, “Eating the foods you like but choosing recipes that are slightly lower in sodium is an easy change and can have a positive effect on your health.”
