| Parameter | Outcome | Details | Comments | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Population size estimates | Population | Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) | Stratified by age and sex | Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) [17] |
| Population projections | Population | 2010–2060 Brazil population projections produced by IBGE | Stratified by year, age and sex | Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) [18] |
| Mortality | Deaths from CHD, stroke, and any other non-modelled causes | Underlying cause of death 2000–2016 | Stratified by year, age and sex | National Mortality Information System (SIM/SUS) [19] |
| Sodium exposure | Exposure of individuals | National Household Budgetary Survey | Anonymised, individual-level dataset | IBGE - National Household Budgetary Survey (POF) 2008–2009 [20, 21] |
| Systolic blood pressure exposure | Exposure of individuals | National Health Survey | Anonymised, individual-level dataset | IBGE - National Health Survey (PNS) 2013 [22] |
| Effect of sodium consumption on systolic blood pressure | Systolic blood pressure | Meta-analysis/meta-regression of 103 trials | Only trials with duration >7 days were analysed | Mozaffarian et al. [3] |
| Reference level of sodium consumption | Ideal sodium consumption below which no excess risk was considered to occur | Evidence from ecological studies, randomised trials, and meta-analyses of prospective cohort studies | Intake levels associated with the lowest risk ranged from 614 to 2391 mg/day; in large, well-controlled randomised feeding trials, the lowest tested intake for which blood pressure reductions were clearly documented was 1500 mg/day | Mozaffarian et al. [3] |
| Relative risk for systolic blood pressure | CHD and stroke incidence (ICD-10: I20–I25 and I60–I69) | Pooled analysis of 2 individual-level meta-analyses | Stratified by age and sex; adjusted for regression dilution and total blood cholesterol and, where available, lipid fractions (HDL and non-HDL cholesterol), diabetes, weight, alcohol consumption, and smoking at baseline | Micha et al. [23] |
| Mortality from any cause excluding CHD and stroke | Individual-level meta-analysis of 48 prospective cohort studies | Adjusted for age, sex, race or ethnicity, deprivation, smoking, diabetes, inactivity, alcohol, and obesity | Stringhini et al. [24] | |
| Reference level of systolic blood pressure | Ideal systolic blood pressure below which no excess risk was considered to occur | Evidence from randomised trials of antihypertensive drugs and the INTERSALT study | There may be health benefits by lowering systolic blood pressure down to 110 mm Hg | Singh et al. [25] |
| Disease costs | Public hospitalisation costs for CHD and stroke | Underlying cause of hospitalisation (2018) | Average cost of hospitalisations per individual | National Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) [26] |
| Primary health, outpatient and informal care and medication costs for CHD and stroke | Costs were extrapolated to Brazilian settings | Leal et al. [27] |
