Proposal summary: 

This is a proposal for analysis of the ALSPAC data - and has 5 different research questions:

1.Does dietary sodium intake track from infancy through to age 7? In particular is

dietary sodium intake in the first year of life strongly associated with intake at age

7?

2.Is dietary sodium intake at age 7 greater among children who have experienced

diarrhoea, vomiting and/or dehydration in the first year of life than those who have

not experienced these illnesses? Is there an association between the number of

episodes of diarrhoea/vomiting/dehydration and dietary sodium intake at age 7?

3.Is infant feeding (ever breast fed and duration of breast feeding) related to dietary

sodium intake at age 7?

4.Is birth weight related to dietary sodium intake at age 7?

5.Is childhood socioeconomic position related to dietary sodium intake at age 7?
