Effectiveness of a Smartphone Application for Dietary Sodium Intake Measurement

Accurate estimation of sodium intake is a key requirement for evaluating the efficacy of interventional strategies to reduce salt intake. The effectiveness of a smartphone application in measuring dietary sodium intake was assessed. This study included 46 participants who consented to register in Noom's food-logging program. All participants were followed up for six months from the day of enrollment. The mean age of the participants was 40.2 ± 12.3 years, and 22 (48%) participants were male. The average number of times/weeks the meals were logged was 16.2 ± 10.3. At baseline, the mean 24-h urine sodium was 124.3 mmol/24 h. The mean sodium intake measured by the smartphone application and calculated using the 24-h urine sodium was 2020.9 mg/24 h and 2857.6 mg/24 h, respectively. During the second visit, the mean 24-h urine sodium was 117.4 mmol/24 h. The mean sodium intake measured by the smartphone application and calculated using the 24-h urine sodium was 1456.0 mg/24 h and 2698.3 mg/24 h, respectively. Sodium intake measured using the smartphone application positively correlated with that calculated using the 24-h urine sodium at baseline (r = 0.464; p < 0.001) and follow-up (r = 0.334; p= 0.023). Dietary sodium intake measured using a smartphone application correlated well with that estimated using 24-h urine sodium level.
