These findings demonstrate the lowest risk of death for
sodium excretion between 4 and 5.99 grams per day.

Danish researchers have found that sleep deprivation causes healthy children,
between the ages of eight and twelve, to urinate significantly more frequently, excrete more
sodium in their urine, have altered regulation of the hormones important for
excretion, and have higher blood pressure and heart rates.
Another 2011 study confirmed this observation; not only was lower
sodium excretion associated with higher CVD mortality, but baseline
sodium excretion did not predict the incidence of hypertension, and any associations
between systolic pressure and
sodium excretion did not translate into less morbidity or improved survival.
Compared with moderate
sodium excretion, there was an association
between low
sodium excretion and cardiovascular (CVD) death and hospitalization for coronary heart failure.
The association
between salt intake as estimated by twenty - four - hour urinary
sodium excretion and the composite outcome of death and serious cardiovascular events was assessed over a median of 4.2 years for both groups of subjects.
As a consequence, both studies give an erroneous illusion of a strong association
between sodium excretion and cardiovascular risk.
Pfieffer CM and others «Urine
sodium excretion increased slightly among U.S. adults
between 1988 and 2010»; J Nut.
However, in the Hamilton
sodium studies, assessments of the association
between sodium excretion and CVD risk were made in which subjects with such preexisting conditions were excluded, with no significant effects on outcomes.
He and a colleague reviewed studies
between 1957 and 2003 that measured
sodium excretion in urine — a very accurate way of determining salt intake that gets around the difficulties in figuring out exactly how much salt is in your food.
It's important to maintain a balance
between sodium and potassium in the diet, because
sodium intake can affect potassium
excretion, and vice versa.
In each group, urinary
sodium excretion changed little
between the run - in and intervention phases.
Research has shown the lowest risk of death for
sodium excretion was
between 4,000 and 5,990 milligrams per day.
