Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion, Mortality, and Cardiovascular Events
In a large study in 17 countries, an estimated sodium intake that was either higher or lower than the average estimated sodium intake was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. A higher-than-average potassium intake was associated with reduced risk. Most of the global population...

| Zusammenfassung: | In a large study in 17 countries, an estimated sodium intake that was either higher or lower than the average estimated sodium intake was associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. A higher-than-average potassium intake was associated with reduced risk.
Most of the global population consumes between 3.0 and 6.0 g of sodium per day (7.5 to 15.0 g of salt per day).

Guidelines on cardiovascular disease prevention recommend a maximum sodium intake of 1.5 to 2.4 g per day, but achieving this target will require a substantial change in diet for most people.

Although clinical trials have shown a reduction in blood pressure with a reduced sodium intake, to our knowledge, no large randomized trial has been conducted to document reductions in the risk of cardiovascular disease with low sodium intake.
