Brief Summary

Numerous large-scale epidemiological studies have made it possible to establish a link between the average consumption of table salt (sodium chloride) and blood pressure figures. In France, according to the French Agency for Food, Environmental and Occupational Health \& Safety (ANSES), salt intakes could be estimated from 2 national food consumption surveys INCA 1 and INCA 2. This made it possible to take a photograph of food consumption habits and to show that the average consumption of salt contained in food in France is 8.7g/day for men and 6.7g/day for women. To these contributions must also be added 1 to 2g of salt for the resalting and the cooking water. According to the food consumption survey INCA 3, french plate still contains a large part of processed foods and still a little too much salt (on average 9g/day for men and 7g/day for women at compare with the objectives of the National Health Nutrition Program of 8g/day and 6.5g/day respectively). In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends consuming less than 5g of salt per day. In this context, sodium intake through mineral water was also questioned. Both in terms of basic and clinical research, the biological effects of dietary sodium chloride intake have been the subject of a great deal of work for several decades. The mechanisms of transmission in the induced or hemodynamic effects related to the absorption of Na multiple debates and their impact on cardiovascular risks remain very uncertain. Work has shown that all subjects do not react homogeneously to sodium chloride intakes, thus determining what are called "NaCl-sensitive" people who in a situation of major sodium intake will show an increase of peripheral vascular resistance and an increase in blood pressure, much more marked than in subjects called " NaCl resistant ". "NaCl-sensitive" people represent 10 to 30% of the population, with notable differences according to ethnic origins, regions and continents. A marked overrepresentation of this phenotype is observed in patients with hypertension or with a family history of hypertension. Furthermore, studies conducted on animals and humans show that sodium intake does not have the same impact on the parameters mentioned above, depending on whether it is in the form of chloride or bicarbonate salt. On the basis of these elements, the investigators developed a clinical study protocol intended to demonstrate a possible differential effect in the biological effects of the same sodium orally intake (2.56g per day), depending on the salt origin.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change from mean blood pressure (MBP) at Day 21

    Comparison between blood pressure data recorded by the volunteer between the 2 weeks of treatment (measurement during 2 days before Day 7 and 2 days before Day 21). Recording of systolic and diastolic blood pressure will be made by the patient at home with the Microlife BP A200 device, in the morning and evening. Comparison of the data collected from these 2 weeks of treatment will allow us to meet the main objective of the study.

    Day 21

Secondary Outcomes (17)

  • Change from mean blood pressure (MBP) at Day -7

    Day -7

  • Weight

    Day -28, Day -21, Day -14, Day -7, Day 7 and Day 21

  • Body composition analysis

    Day -21, Day -14, Day -7, Day 7 and Day 21

  • Optional genotyping

    One time at Day -28

  • Plasma renin dosage on fasted state

    Day -28, Day -14, Day -7, Day 7 and Day 21

  • +12 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

Bottle of water

EXPERIMENTAL

After inclusion in the study, the patients are phenotyped between V1 and V4. Following this, they will be separated into 2 groups: "NaCl sensitive" patients and "non-NaCl sensitive" patients. The non-sensitive group will drop out of the study, while the others will be randomized to one of the 2 treatment arms: bottle of water or sachet of salt.

Interventions

PhenotypingDIAGNOSTIC_TEST

After inclusion in the study, between V1 and V4, patients will be phenotyped among: "NaCl sensitive" patients and "non-NaCl sensitive" patients. they will have a low sodium diet for 2 weeks. The first week without salt supplementation and the second with salt supplementation. At the end of V4, if patient is "NaCl sensitive" he will continue into treatment period and go through randomization, and for patient "non-NaCl sensitive" they will drop out of study.
