Does dietary sodium restriction improve blood pressure in older hypertensive and normotensive individuals?
Does dietary sodium restriction improve blood pressure in older hypertensive and normotensive individuals?
The evidence challenges current recommendations for universal dietary sodium restriction, suggesting it should be targeted primarily at older hypertensive individuals.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
May support targeted sodium restriction in older hypertensives; leaves open universal restriction in normotensives.
- Dietary sodium restriction for older hypertensive individuals might be considered, but the evidence in the normotensive population does not support current recommendations for universal dietary sodium restriction.
