title: Effects of decreased dietary salt intake on blood pressure in preschool children.
abstract: Salt-restricted preschool black children, 4 to 5 years of age, were found to have significantly lower diastolic and systolic blood pressures than a matched group on a regular diet. The one exception was the systolic readings for the group of female children; no significant difference between restricted and regular salt diets was found.
