22. května 2026 aktualizováno: Peking University

Determining the Presence of Salt Sensitivity in Individuals With Elevated Blood Pressure Through Dietary Salt Interventions: A Series of N-of-1 Trials

Study Title: Determining the Presence of Salt Sensitivity in Individuals With Elevated Blood Pressure Through Dietary Salt Interventions: A Series of N-of-1 Trials

Objective: To evaluate whether there are differences in blood pressure responses to dietary sodium intake between salt-sensitive and salt-resistant individuals, as identified through a salt sensitivity test. The study will use repeated dietary interventions with varying sodium content (high-sodium, low-sodium) to assess blood pressure responses in each individual, aiming to determine whether salt sensitivity is a present characteristic.

Study Design: This study will utilize an N-of-1 randomized controlled trial design. It consists of two phases:

Salt Sensitivity Screening: A 2-week chronic salt-loading test will be used to identify salt-sensitive and salt-resistant individuals.

N-of-1 Trial: The identified salt-sensitive and salt-resistant individuals will undergo a 6-week N-of-1 trial, consisting of three cycles, with each cycle including one week of low-sodium diet and one week of high-sodium diet. This design aims to assess individual blood pressure responses to changes in sodium intake.

Sample Size: A total of 72 participants will be recruited for the salt sensitivity screening, with an expected 24 participants proceeding to the N-of-1 trial.

Study Population: Healthy individuals aged 20-65 years, not on antihypertensive medication or with a stable regimen for at least 3 months, with systolic blood pressure between 110-159 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 70-99 mmHg, who are able to eat at the research center.

Primary Outcome: Reproducibility of salt sensitivity response classification. Secondary Outcomes: Changes in mean arterial pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure; exploratory outcomes such as sleep, mood, gut microbiome, metabolomics; safety outcomes including hypotension and hyponatremia.

Study Title: Determining the Presence of Salt Sensitivity in Individuals With Elevated Blood Pressure Through Dietary Salt Interventions: A Series of N-of-1 Trials

Objective:

  1. Primary Objective: To assess whether there are differences in blood pressure responses between salt-sensitive and salt-resistant individuals.
  2. Exploratory Objectives: To explore the effects of different sodium-content diets on individual pulse, sleep, and mood; to evaluate whether a low-sodium diet increases the incidence of hypotension; and to identify metabolic differences associated with salt sensitivity.

Study Design: This study will utilize a two-phase N-of-1 randomized controlled trial design. It consists of the following phases:

  1. Salt Sensitivity Screening: Participants will undergo a 2-week dietary intervention (1 week of high-sodium diet: 200 mmol/day; 1 week of low-sodium diet: 85 mmol/day). Salt sensitivity will be determined by comparing changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) between the high-sodium and low-sodium periods (△MAP). Individuals with △MAP ≥5 mmHg and in the upper 1/6 of the population will be classified as salt-sensitive (SS), while those with △MAP <5 mmHg and in the lower 1/6 will be classified as salt-resistant (SR).
  2. N-of-1 Trial: The identified salt-sensitive and salt-resistant individuals will undergo a 6-week N-of-1 trial, consisting of three cycles. Each cycle will last 2 weeks (1 week of high-sodium diet and 1 week of low-sodium diet). This design aims to assess individual blood pressure responses to changes in sodium intake.

Sample Size: A total of 72 participants will be recruited for the salt sensitivity screening, with an expected 24 participants proceeding to the N-of-1 trial.

Study Population: Healthy individuals aged 20-65 years, not on antihypertensive medication or with a stable regimen for at least 3 months, with systolic blood pressure between 110-159 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure between 70-99 mmHg, who are able to eat at the research center.

Primary Outcome: Reproducibility of salt sensitivity response classification. Secondary Outcomes:Changes in mean arterial pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressure; exploratory outcomes such as sleep, mood, gut microbiome, and metabolomics; and safety outcomes including hypotension and hyponatremia.

  7. Individuals who are deaf, mute, or have cognitive impairments that hinder communication.

Phase 2: N-of-1 Trial

Inclusion:

  1. Classified as salt-sensitive or salt-resistant through the Phase 1 screening:
  2. Salt-Sensitive (SS) Group: Participants with a change in mean arterial pressure (ΔMAP) ≥ 5 mmHg and in the upper 1/6 of the distribution of ΔMAP from the salt sensitivity test.
  3. Salt-Resistant (SR) Group: Participants with a change in mean arterial pressure (ΔMAP) < 5 mmHg and in the lower 1/6 of the distribution of ΔMAP from the salt sensitivity test.
  4. Signed informed consent for the n-of-1 trial.

Exclusion:

  2. Experienced adverse events during the salt sensitivity test that, in the investigator's judgment, make it inappropriate to continue in the study.
