The study concluded that compared with moderate sodium intake of 4 to 5 grams per day (two to two and one - half teaspoons salt), high sodium intake, greater than 7 grams per day is associated with a significantly increased risk of death and serious CVD events in hypertensive populations only, but not in the normotensive population.

Not exact matches

A series of randomized control trials of a nurse home visitation program show a range of positive effects on maternal health, including decreases in prenatal cigarette smoking, fewer hypertensive disorders in pregnancy, and fewer closely spaced subsequent pregnancies., A randomized control study of another program that works with a particularly high - risk population found that participant mothers showed significantly lower depressive symptoms than those in the control group and were less likely to report feeling stressed a year after participation.
