Effects of Diet and Sodium Intake on Blood Pressure: Subgroup Analysis of the DASH-Sodium Trial (2001, background): “One prospective study from the United States and one from Finland found that sodium intake (8) or excretion (25) predicted cardiovascular disease significantly more in persons with a body mass index greater than 27 kg/m(2) than in those with a body mass index of 27 kg/m(2) or less.”
Reducing population salt intake worldwide: from evidence to implementation. (2010, background): “Adapted from Tuomilehto et al.(5) 371 F.”
Effect of modest salt reduction on blood pressure: a meta-analysis of randomized trials. Implications for public health (2002, background): “53 A recent study from Finland using a random sample of the Finnish adult population showed that salt intake was directly related to increased cardiovascular mortality and total mortality”
Links between dietary salt intake, renal salt handling, blood pressure, and cardiovascular diseases. (2005, positive): “More convincingly, because avoiding potential inaccuracy 24-h dietary recall on nutrient intake for estimating the habitual salt intake, a prospective Finnish cohort study conducted in 1,173 men and 1,263 women aged 25–64 yr confirmed these findings (375).”
