Abstract in brief

The meta-analysis indicates that salt substitutes significantly lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with stage 2 hypertension, with the greatest effects observed in adults under 65 years old.
The studies showed consistent results across different trials, with no significant variability, supporting the reliability of salt substitutes as an effective treatment option for reducing blood pressure.
The findings suggest that using salt substitutes could be a useful nutritional strategy to help manage and prevent high blood pressure, especially in younger adults, though their effect on the elderly's diastolic pressure was less clear.]
