High quality evidence in non-acutely ill adults shows that
reduced sodium intake reduces blood pressure and has no adverse
effect on blood lipids, catecholamine levels, or renal function, and

intake reduces blood pressure. Lower sodium intake is also associated
with a reduced risk of stroke and fatal coronary heart disease in adults.
The totality of evidence suggests that most people will likely benefit from
reducing sodium intake
