Why the study?
The study was designed to evaluate the blood pressure-lowering effect of low-sodium salt substitution and how this effect is influenced by plasma renin concentration in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients.

Supports LS salt substitution for BP reduction in middle-aged/elderly hypertensives; extends evidence on PRC moderation of response.
Does low-sodium salt substitution reduce blood pressure in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients?
Low-sodium salt substitution effectively reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in middle-aged and elderly hypertensive patients, with greater effects observed in those with low baseline plasma renin concentration.
