Background: The relationship between dietary sodium intake and blood pressure (BP) has
been tested in clinical trials and nonexperimental human studies, indicating a direct …

Advancing age promotes cardiovascular disease (CVD), the leading cause of death in the
United States and many developed nations. Two major age-related arterial phenotypes …

Objective To examine the dose-response relation between reduction in dietary sodium and
blood pressure change and to explore the impact of intervention duration. Design …

Arterial stiffness progressively increases with aging and is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Evidence supports that there are sex differences in the …

Objective To determine the effects of longer term modest salt reduction on blood pressure,
hormones, and lipids. Design Systematic review and meta-analysis. Data sources Medline …

Objective To assess the effect of decreased sodium intake on blood pressure, related
cardiovascular diseases, and potential adverse effects such as changes in blood lipids …

Background Nonpharmacologic interventions that modify lifestyle can lower blood pressure
(BP) and have been assessed in numerous randomized controlled trials and pairwise meta …

Sodium is essential for cellular homeostasis and physiological function. Excess dietary
sodium has been linked to elevations in blood pressure (BP). Salt sensitivity of BP varies …

Background Recent cohort studies show that salt intake below 6 g is associated with
increased mortality. These findings have not changed public recommendations to lower salt …

Arterial stiffness is a growing epidemic associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events, dementia, and death. Decreased compliance of the central vasculature alters arterial …
