Salt reduction lowers cardiovascular risk: meta-analysis of outcome trials.

摘要

A recent Cochrane Review by Rod Taylor and colleagues, published simultaneously in The Cochrane Library and the American journal of Hypertension, stated in the plain language summary that "Cutting down on the amount of salt has no clear benefits in terms of likelihood of dying or experiencing cardiovascular disease". The Cochrane Library's own press release headline included this statement: "Cutting down on salt does not reduce your chance of dying". Both of these statements are incorrect.
