Salt and cardiovascular disease to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, it is plausible that salt consumption is a risk factor for cardiovascular health. However, to properly study the effects of sodium intake levels on risk of development of cardiovascular disease, long-term studies of large groups using both dietary and biochemical measures are necessary. Several of these studies show that groups with sodium-reduced diets have lower incidences of cardiovascular disease in all demographics, and in particular lower blood pressure. One study showed lower incidence of cardiovascular disease after 15 years of sodium reduction in a randomised trial. More data is needed to support the
