The requirement for dietary sodium:

Has been well-established through use of dose-response trials
Is higher among pregnant women than non-pregnant women
May vary with physical exertion and health status
All of the above

Explanation

Answer: C - The requirement for dietary sodium may vary with physical exertion and health status, increasing with exercise and some metabolic disorders such as cystic fibrosis. Sodium needs in the general population are not well understood, and there is insufficient evidence to suggest that they are higher among pregnant versus non-pregnant women.
