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]
