22. Mai 2026 aktualisiert von: 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.

  4. Able to comply with consuming the study-provided diet throughout the study period.

Exclusion:

  1. Special dietary requirements, such as allergies to common foods (e.g., eggs, seafood, peanuts), or conditions like asthma, irritable bowel syndrome, lactose intolerance, chronic kidney disease stage 4 or higher, history of gastrointestinal surgery, or special dietary needs due to other illnesses, surgery, or weight loss.
  2. Diagnosed with chronic diseases: any malignancy with a life expectancy of less than one year; chronic heart failure, severe depression or other mental disorders, long-term bedridden status, or mobility limitations.

  5. Alcohol abuse.
  6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women planning to become pregnant.
  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:

  1. Failed to complete the salt sensitivity test as required, or consumed less than 80% of the study-provided meals during the salt sensitivity test (i.e., fewer than 34 meals over 14 days).
  2. Experienced adverse events during the salt sensitivity test that, in the investigator's judgment, make it inappropriate to continue in the study.
