Dietary salt intake, salt sensitivity, and cardiovascular health.
The controversial issue of the relationship between dietary NaCl (referred to as “salt” in this article) intake and health was framed nicely in the superb review by Prof Eberhard Ritz.1 When salt was not readily available, it was a relatively essential commodity, but in the modern world salt has become plentiful, and it is actually difficult to achieve a low salt intake without exerting a signi...
متن کاملDietary Salt Intake and Hypertension
Over the past century, salt has been the subject of intense scientific research related to blood pressure elevation and cardiovascular mortalities. Moderate reduction of dietary salt intake is generally an effective measure to reduce blood pressure. However, recently some in the academic society and lay media dispute the benefits of salt restriction, pointing to inconsistent outcomes noted in s...
متن کاملPopulation Dietary Salt Reduction and the Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: A Commentary on Recent Evidence.
Raised blood pressure (BP) is the first cause of death and disability in adults worldwide, mainly due to cardiovascular disease (CVD). The risk of CVD increases progressively with increasing BP. However, the majority of CVD death and morbidity attributable to BP occur at level around or below 130/80 mmHg, because there are so many individuals in the population with this BP. Clinical guidelines ...
متن کاملLinks between dietary salt intake, renal salt handling, blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases.
Epidemiological, migration, intervention, and genetic studies in humans and animals provide very strong evidence of a causal link between high salt intake and high blood pressure. The mechanisms by which dietary salt increases arterial pressure are not fully understood, but they seem related to the inability of the kidneys to excrete large amounts of salt. From an evolutionary viewpoint, the hu...
متن کاملReducing salt intake to prevent hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
There is compelling evidence that dietary salt intake is the major cause of raised blood pressure (BP) and that a reduction in salt intake from the current level of ≈ 9 - 12 g/day in most countries to the recommended level of < 5 g/day lowers BP. A further reduction to 3 - 4 g/day has a greater effect and there needs to be ongoing consideration of lower targets for population salt intake. Cohor...
