Relationship between salt consumption measured by 24-h urine collection and blood pressure in the adult population of Vitória (Brazil)

High salt intake is related to an increase in blood pressure and development of hypertension. However, currently, there are no national representative data in Brazil using the gold standard method of 24-h urine collection to measure sodium consumption. This study aimed to determine salt intake based on 24-h urine collection in a sample of 272 adults of both genders and to correlate it with blood pressure levels. We used a rigorous protocol to assure an empty bladder prior to initiating urine collection. We excluded subjects with a urine volume <500 mL, collection period outside of an interval of 23-25 h, and subjects with creatinine excretion that was not within the range of 14.4-33.6 mg/kg (men) and 10.8-25.2 mg/kg (women). The mean salt intake was 10.4±4.1 g/day (d), and 94% of the participants (98% of men and 90% of women) ingested more than the recommended level of 5 g/d. We found a positive association between salt and body mass index (BMI) categories, as well as with salt and blood pressure, independent of age and BMI. The difference in systolic blood pressure reached 13 mmHg between subjects consuming less than 6 g/d of salt and those ingesting more than 18 g/d. Subjects with hypertension had a higher estimated salt intake than normotensive subjects (11.4±5.0 vs 9.8±3.6 g/d, P<0.01), regardless of whether they were under treatment. Our data indicate the need for interventions to reduce sodium intake, as well the need for ongoing, appropriate monitoring of salt consumption in the general population.

Food production in solidarity economy: an issue that goes beyond laws

Abstract Food production within the context of solidarity economy is an alternative way to offer employment and income for a significant part of the Brazilian population. The purpose of this study was to carry out a business diagnosis in order to evaluate the facilities, the production process and hygiene practices of seven solidarity economy enterprises located in the city of Novo Hamburgo, Southern Brazil, that work with food production and sales. Visits took place at the enterprises and a check-list was used to record data. Although food production happens in places with space and setting restrictions, it guarantees distinctive foods with aggregate value, where handlers follow the whole process, from raw materials selection to sales. Basic hygiene principles are followed, as they guarantee the production of food with quality, which contributes towards income generation for participating families. Specific laws that apply to the characteristics and needs of small-scale food production must be written in order to regulate solidarity economy enterprises.

Osuustoiminnallisen pankin yhteiskuntavastuu - jäsenistön näkökulma

Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvata ja ymmärtää osuustoiminnallisen pankin yhteiskuntavastuun toteuttamista. Yhteiskuntavastuussa on kysymys vastuusta toiminnan aiheuttamista vaikutuksista sekä teoista, joilla vastataan yhteiskunnan ja sidosryhmien odotuksiin. Tutkimuksessa pyritään selvittämään, mitä odotuksia jäsenistöllä on osuustoiminnallisen pankin yhteiskuntavastuusta. Tutkimus on tapaustutkimus ja kohdeyhteisönä on itsenäisesti toimiva osuuspankki. Tutkimus on luonteeltaan laadullinen ja aineiston keräämisessä käytetään triangulaatiota. Empiirinen aineisto koostuu valmiista aineistosta, kohdeyhteisön kahden henkilöstön edustajan teemahaastatteluista sekä kyselytutkimuksesta, joka osoitettiin kohdeyhteisön jäsenistöä edustavalle edustajistolle. Jäsenistö odottaa osuustoiminnallisen pankin toimivan vastuullisesti. Osuuspankin yhteiskuntavastuussa korostuu paikallisuus sekä jäsenistön hyvinvointi. Yhteiskuntavastuullisuuden edellytyksenä pidetään toiminnan kannattavuutta, pankkipalveluiden saatavuutta sekä lakien ja säännösten noudattamista.
