Proposed Project
Salt Sources Study—New—National
Center for Chronic Disease Prevention
and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
Stroke and coronary heart disease are
the leading causes of morbidity and
mortality in the United States, and
account for billions of dollars in annual
health care costs and productivity.
Stroke and heart disease are directly
related to high blood pressure, a
condition that affects about 67 million
Americans (31 percent of U.S. adults).
Sodium intake directly and
progressively increases blood pressure
and subsequently increases the risk of
heart disease and stroke. Recent
evidence also indicates excess sodium
can damage the heart, vessels, and
kidneys without increasing blood
pressure. It has been estimated that an
average reduction of as little as 400 mg
of sodium daily, or about 11% of
average U.S. sodium intake, would
prevent more than 28,000 deaths and
save 7 billion health care dollars
annually.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM, 2010)
has recommended phased reductions in
the sodium content of packaged foods
and menu items, and voluntary actions
by industry to reduce the sodium
content of food. Public comments on
these strategies have been solicited by
the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) and the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA). In addition, the
U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) has designated
reduction in sodium intake as one of
CDC’s Winnable Battles, as a component
subgroup of 150 of these participants
(50 per site). One study center will serve
as a study coordinating center and will
transmit de-identified information to
CDC through a secure Web site. CDC is
authorized to conduct this information
collection under section 301 of the
Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C.
241).
For the observational study
component, CDC estimates that each
study site will enroll 75 participants per
year. After completing a screening
process, each participant will complete
a personal questionnaire, a tap water
questionnaire, four 24-hour dietary
recalls, and four qualitative food
records. In addition, height and weight
information on each participant will be
collected, and each participant will
provide samples of their cooking/table
salt for independent analysis. Fifteen
participants at each site will also
provide water samples that will be
analyzed to produce estimates of the
amount of sodium in private sources of
tap water.
The Salt Sources Study will include
a sub-study to help determine the
accuracy of estimates of total sodium
intake and discretionary salt intake. We
will ask participants to use a Study Salt
for 11 days instead of their own
household salt. The Study Salt contains
a very small amount of lithium, a metal
found in trace amounts in all plants and
animals. Seventy-five respondents who
are participating in the observational
study (approximately 25 respondents
from each study site) will provide
additional information based on four 24hour urine collections, four follow-up
urine collection questionnaires, and
three follow-up questionnaires on Study
Salt use.
Results from the Salt Sources Study
will be used to inform public health
strategies to reduce sodium intake,
determine if substantial variability in
sources of sodium intake exists by
socio-demographic subgroups, and
better inform estimates of salt added at
the table used in Healthy People 2020
objectives related to sodium reduction.
Participation in the Salt Sources
Study is voluntary. There are no costs
to participants other than their time.
of the Million HeartsTM initiative, and as
a Healthy People 2020 objective.
There is a critical need for current,
accurate information about the sources
of sodium intake among diverse groups
of adults living in the United States. A
study conducted in 1991 (N=62)
estimated that 77% of sodium
consumed was from sodium added to
packaged and restaurant foods during
commercial processing, about 11%
came from salt added at the table or
during cooking, and 12% was naturally
occurring (inherent) in food and
beverages. Results from this study have
been used to inform and prioritize
efforts to reduce sodium in U.S.
packaged and restaurant foods. For
example, the data have been used to
inform estimation equations for
discretionary sodium intake (salt added
at the table) and to estimate average
total sodium intake. However, the study
was not designed to produce estimates
for population subgroups.
Since 1991, the U.S. has undergone
demographic shifts in age, race, and
ethnicity, changes in food consumption
patterns, and changes in the geographic
distribution of the population. CDC
therefore plans to conduct a new Salt
Sources Study to obtain updated
information about the amount of sodium
consumed from various sources
(including sodium from processed and
restaurant foods, sodium inherent in
foods, and salt added at the table and
during cooking) and to examine
variability across population subgroups.
Data collection will include an
observational component as well as a
sub-study designed to refine the
accuracy of estimates of total sodium
intake and discretionary sodium intake.
The Salt Sources Study will include
participants in three distinct geographic
regions: (1) Minneapolis/St. Paul,
Minnesota, (2) Birmingham, Alabama,
and (3) Palo Alto, California. Over a
two-year period, a study center in each
location will recruit 150 participants
(total N=450) with the aim of selecting
an equal number of adults ages 18–74
years by approximately 10-year age
groups in each sex-race group, including
whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. A
sub-study will be conducted among a

The Laboratory Response Network
(LRN) was established by the
Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS), Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) in
accordance with Presidential Decision
Directive 39, which outlined national
anti-terrorism policies and assigned
specific missions to Federal
departments and agencies. The LRN’s
mission is to maintain an integrated
national and international network of
laboratories that can respond to
suspected acts of biological, chemical,
or radiological threats and other public
health emergencies.
When Federal, State and local public
health laboratories voluntarily join the
LRN, they assume specific
responsibilities and are required to
provide information to the LRN Program
Office at CDC. Each laboratory must
submit and maintain complete
information regarding the testing
capabilities of the laboratory.
Biennually, laboratories are required to
review, verify and update their testing
capability information. Complete testing
capability information is required in
order for the LRN Program Office to
determine the ability of the Network to
respond to a biological or chemical
threat event. The sensitivity of all
information associated with the LRN
requires the LRN Program Office to
obtain personal information about all
individuals accessing the LRN Web site.
In addition, the LRN Program Office
must be able to contact all laboratory
personnel during an event so each
laboratory staff member that obtains
access to the restricted LRN Web site

must provide his or her contact
information to the LRN Program Office.
As a requirement of membership, LRN
Laboratories must report all biological
and chemical testing results to the LRN
Program at CDC using a CDC developed
software tool called the LRN Results
Messenger. This information is essential
for surveillance of anomalies, to support
response to an event that may involve
multiple agencies and to manage limited
resources. LRN Laboratories must also
participate in and report results for
Proficiency Testing Challenges or
Validation Studies. LRN Laboratories
participate in multiple Proficiency
Testing Challenges, Exercises and/or
Validation Studies every year consisting
of five to 500 simulated samples
provided by the LRN Program Office. It
is necessary to conduct such challenges
in order to verify the testing capability
of the LRN Laboratories. The rarity of
biological or chemical agents perceived
to be of bioterrorism concern prevents
some LRN Laboratories from
maintaining proficiency as a result of
day-to-day testing. Simulated samples
are therefore distributed to ensure
proficiency across the LRN. The results
obtained from testing these simulated
samples must also be entered into
Results Messenger for evaluation by the
LRN Program Office. During a surge
event resulting from a bioterrorism or
chemical terrorism attack, LRN
Laboratories are also required to submit
all testing results using LRN Results
Messenger. The LRN Program Office
requires these results in order to track
the progression of a bioterrorism event
and respond in the most efficient and
effective way possible and for data
sharing with other Federal partners
