    Abstract The dietary restriction of salt intake and the adhesion to Mediterranean dietary patterns are among the most recommended lifestyle modifications for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. A large amount of evidence supports these recommendations; indeed, several studies show that a higher adherence to Mediterranean dietary patterns is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Likewise, findings from observational and clinical studies suggest a causal role of excess salt intake in blood pressure increase, cardiovascular organ damage, and the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. In this context, it is also conceivable that the beneficial effects of these two dietary patterns overlap because Mediterranean dietary patterns are typically characterized by a large consumption of plant-based foods with low sodium content. However, there is little data on this issue, and heterogeneous results are available on the relationship between adherence to salt restriction and to Mediterranean dietary patterns. Thus, this short review focuses on the epidemiological and clinical evidence of the relationship between the adherence to Mediterranean dietary patterns and dietary salt restriction in the context of cardiovascular risk.

    Abstract Isolated systolic hypertension is associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality. Despite being the most common form of hypertension in the elderly, it is also detectable among young and middle-aged subjects. Dietary salt (sodium chloride) intake is an important determinant of blood pressure, and high salt intake is associated with greater risk of hypertension and cardiovascular events. In most countries, habitual salt intake at all age categories largely exceeds the international recommendations. Excess salt intake, often interacting with overweight and insulin resistance, may contribute to the development and maintenance of isolated systolic hypertension in young individuals by causing endothelial dysfunction and promoting arterial stiffness through a number of mechanisms, namely increase in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system activity, sympathetic tone and salt-sensitivity. This short review focused on the epidemiological and clinical evidence, the mechanistic pathways and the cluster of pathophysiological factors whereby excess salt intake may favor the development and maintenance of isolated systolic hypertension in young people.

    Abstract A number of evidence showed an emerging role of leptin on immune system, involving inflammation, and innate and adaptive immunity. Few observational studies have evaluated the relationship between leptin and immunity, albeit with low statistical power and methodological differences. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the potential role of leptin on the immunity, expressed as white blood cells (WBC)-and its subpopulations, by comprehensive multivariate models in a sample of adult men. A cross-sectional evaluation of a general population comprised 939 subjects participating in the Olivetti Heart Study, with available leptin levels and WBC-and its subpopulations. WBC were significantly and positively associated with leptin, C-reactive protein and HOMA index (p < 0.05), but not with age and anthropometric indices (p > 0.05). The multivariate analysis confirmed the association between leptin and WBC, after accounting for main confounders (p < 0.05). Additional analysis on WBC subpopulations showed a positive and significant correlation between leptin and lymphocytes, monocytes and eosinophils (p < 0.05), but not with neutrophils and basophils (p > 0.05). After stratification by body weight, the positive and significant association between leptin and WBC-and its subpopulations-was found in excess body weight participants. The results of this study indicate a direct relationship between leptin levels and WBC-and its subpopulations-in excess body weight participants. These results support the hypothesis that leptin has modulatory functions on immunity and role in the pathophysiology of immune-related diseases, in particular in those associated with excess body weight.

    Abstract Background and aims: Excess salt intake is the leading dietary risk factor for cardiovascular disease in most countries, including Italy. While the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed to reduce salt intake has been proved, the WHO recommendation to reduce salt intake by 30 % at the global level by 2025 is far from being reached.
    Methods and results: In Italy, two surveys of the general adult population have established that the average salt intake is still almost twice the WHO recommendation although it was reduced by 1.2 g/day between 2008-12 and 2018-19. Previous investigations had shown that non-discretionary salt added by the industry or by local craft producers represents at least 50 % of the total intake and indicated cereal-based products as the main source of non-discretionary salt. Two recent studies conducted by the Italian Society of Human Nutrition "Young Working Group" have provided updated information on the salt content of almost three thousand cereal-based products currently available on the Italian food market and shown that most of the items evaluated had a sodium content much higher than the sodium benchmarks recently proposed by WHO.
    Conclusions: Italy has built the foundations of an effective population strategy for salt intake reduction: it is time however to proceed with full commitment to food reformulation if any substantial further progress has to be made. Salt benchmarks for Italy need to be defined for the food categories most relevant to population salt intake and their implementation should ideally be mandatory after consultation with food producers.

    Abstract Objective: Monitoring population salt intake is operationally and economically challenging. We explored whether a questionnaire assessment and a prediction of Na intake from spot-urine could replace or complement the recommended measurement of Na in 24-h urine (24-h U).
    Design: Compare the agreement of a Na-specific food record checklist (FRCL) and a late-afternoon spot-urine measurement (PM-spot) with 24-h U measurement in estimating Na intake at group level. Each participant's use of these methods extended over 3 d. Agreement was assessed using mean (95 % CI) differences, linear regression models and Bland-Altman plots.
    Setting: The validation study was part of a 1-year workplace intervention trial to lower salt intake in Switzerland.
    Participants: Seventy women and 71 men, aged 21-61 years, completed three FRCL, and acceptable PM-spot and 24-h U samples at baseline (April-October 2015).
    Results: Mean Na intake estimates varied slightly across methods (3·5-3·9 g/d). Mean Na intake differences from 24-h U were 0·2 (95 % CI (0, 0·5)) g/d for FRCL and 0·4 (95 % CI (0·2, 0·6)) g/d for PM-spot. Linear regression models and Bland-Altmann plots more clearly depicted differences by sex and discretionary salt use.
    Conclusions: Although 24-h U remains the best reference method for monitoring Na intake at the population level, PM-spot and FRCL might be more practical instruments for frequent, periodic Na intake assessments. Population-specific prediction models to estimate 24-h U could be developed and evaluated.
