title: Dietary sodium intake and mortality.
abstract: Results of a recent study of data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES I) on sodium intake and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality may call into question current recommendations to limit salt intake. Further research is needed to explore the relationship between sodium, cardiovascular disease, and mortality.
