- Abstract
The article discusses a study of 3,681 volunteers without cardiovascular disease (CVD), to assess the prediction of health outcomes and blood pressure by amount of sodium excreted through the urine during a 24-hour period. It focuses on the link of the volunteers to families enrolled in clinical studies from 1985-2004. It examines the 7.9-year follow-up on the participants which found that low excretion of salt among those with high blood pressure (BP) increased the risk of CVD and mortality, including the changes in the diastolic and systolic BP.
