Nutritional Status Assessment and its Links with Chronic Disease Prognosis and Surgical Outcomes
Nutritional disorders are related to poor health outcomes including longer hospital stays, postoperative complications, cancer treatment toxicity, shorter survival, and reduced quality of life. The use of nutritional assessment tools for both diagnostic and outcome measure purposes has been widely explored. However, understanding of their responsiveness to nutritional interventions is still in its incipient stages. There has been increasing awareness of the importance of nutritional screening and assessment, especially the integration of skeletal muscle mass evaluation into clinical practice. In this context, a standardized definition of low muscle mass, myosteatosis, and muscle strength is ...
Hold the Salt: Dietary Sodium's Effect on Cardiovascular and Kidney Diseases
Sodium plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular and kidney health and disease, with its balance being crucial for maintaining overall health. While most guidelines recommend a daily intake of less than 2 grams of sodium, most individuals consume nearly twice that amount in a day. On average, more than 70% of dietary sodium comes from processed foods and eating out at restaurants. It is well known that the sodium status of the body is directly correlated to systolic blood pressure. Excessive sodium intake can lead to hypertension, which is a major public health issue due to the profound risk of developing cardiovascular and kidney diseases. The kidneys act as a key regulator of sodium levels in the body, adjusting its reabsorption and excretion to maintain a delicate balance. Dysfunction in the renal handling of sodium can contribute to various kidney disorders. Therefore, a careful and balanced approach to sodium consumption is essential to support optimal cardiovascular and kidney function, reducing the risk of related health complications.
