Dag S. Thelle (1996) conducted an editorial in Hypertension (n=10,074). Dietary sodium intake vs. Lower sodium intake was evaluated on Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (2.2 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure per 100 mmol/day reduction in sodium). A reduction in sodium intake of 100 mmol/day was associated with a 2.2 mm Hg reduction in systolic blood pressure and a 0.1 mm Hg reduction in diastolic blood pressure.
