The aim of this study is to stablish a direct relationship between salt intake and the health parameters previously mentioned in a representative sample of Spanish schoolchildren between 7-11 years old. The investigators are applying a 3-day dietary records to collect dietary data, and collecting 24-h urine samples in order to analyse biochemical indicators of sodium intake and other nutrients.
