Abstract in brief

  • The study analyzed data from two trials, TOHP I and TOHP IIBR, which involved adults aged 30-54 with prehypertension, to see if reducing dietary sodium intake decreases long-term cardiovascular events like heart attacks and strokes.
  • Participants in the sodium reduction groups significantly lowered their sodium intake, and the study found that these groups had about a 25-30% lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to the control groups, even nearly 10-15 years later.
  • The results suggest that lowering sodium intake, which is known to reduce blood pressure, may also have lasting effects in decreasing the risk of serious cardiovascular diseases over the long term.]

@moreyraortho @American_Heart @BenBikmanPhD Do you have any proof for that? Show me a study. I definitely can for you on the harms of sodium and salt: https://t.co/0GYjZNf6mu and https://t.co/6HsxGyZYXy and https://t.co/D8f09gWGhg . Excess refined sugar is bad yes, but so is excess sodium(^BP) and saturated fat(^LDL-C).
