Resumo

Background The potential benefits of dietary salt reduction on the prevention of cardiovascular disease have been extrapolated by those expected through its blood pressure (BP) lowering effect. Purpose To perform a meta-analysis of the prospective studies published between 1996 and 2008 that assessed the relationship between the level of habitual salt intake and both stroke and total cardiovascular outcomes (CVD). Data sources and study selection We performed a systematic search of publications through online databases and relevant reviews.
