Why the study?
Does reducing sodium intake to the 1500 to 2300 mg/d range reduce cardiovascular risk in the general population?
Does reducing sodium intake to the 1500 to 2300 mg/d range reduce cardiovascular risk in the general population?
Reducing sodium intake to 1500-2300 mg/d is associated with overall health benefits and reduced cardiovascular risk, supporting current dietary guidelines.
Supports guideline sodium targets in primary prevention; leaves open need for definitive RCTs on CV outcomes.
Results from the TOHP studies, which overcome the major methodological challenges of prior studies, are consistent with overall health benefits of reducing sodium intake to the 1500 to 2300 mg/d range in the majority of the population, in agreement with current dietary guidelines.
