Salt sensitivity

摘要

From Anthony Daniel The relationship between cardiovascular disease and a salty diet is well known to the medical profession (3 December, p 46), but, as you briefly mention, it is equally well known, at least in regard to blood pressure, that some people are salt sensitive and some are not. It is not surprising therefore that many of the studies quoted produced equivocal results. Large investigations of random groups will not necessarily produce worthwhile findings if several factors are present.
