Implication

Hypothesis-generating for salt and diastolic BP variability in healthy men; prospective data needed before practice implications.

Structured PICO

Is dietary salt intake associated with blood pressure levels in healthy men?

P
Population
188 healthy men from a working population in Naples, southern Italy
I
Intervention
Dietary salt intake (assessed via 24-h urinary sodium excretion)
O
Outcome
Diastolic and systolic blood pressuresurrogate

Dietary salt intake, as measured by 24-hour urinary sodium, is independently associated with diastolic blood pressure in healthy men, supporting its role in blood pressure regulation.
