Abstract
Results of a recent study of data from the National Health and Nutriti on Examination Survey (NHANES I) on sodium intake and all-cause and ca rdiovascular mortality may call into question current recommendations to limit salt intake. Further research is needed to explore the relati onship between sodium, cardiovascular disease, and mortality.
