Key result
The IOM report found insufficient evidence to support reducing dietary sodium intake below 2,300 mg/day for cardiovascular benefit, challenging current US guidelines.
Why the study?
Does dietary sodium reduction to <2,300 mg/day prevent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in the general population?
Population

The IOM report found insufficient evidence to support current guidelines recommending sodium reduction below 2,300 mg/day for cardiovascular benefit, challenging the 'lower is always better' paradigm.

Alderman et al. (2013) conducted an editorial in Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality related to dietary sodium. Dietary sodium reduction (<2,300 mg/day) vs. Current average intake (~3,400 mg/day) was evaluated on Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The IOM report found insufficient evidence to support reducing dietary sodium intake below 2,300 mg/day for cardiovascular benefit, challenging current US guidelines.
