Key result
The workshop panel concluded that future models estimating the mortality impact of sodium reduction should use multiple techniques with consistent scenarios and effect sizes.
Variability in sodium reduction mortality projections warrants caution in policy use; extends modeling standards for future consistency.

Schmidt et al. (2011) conducted a review in High blood pressure and cardiovascular mortality. Population-wide sodium reduction was evaluated. The workshop panel concluded that future models estimating the mortality impact of sodium reduction should use multiple techniques with consistent scenarios and effect sizes.
