Salt and Cardiovascular Disease: Does Acute Salt-Sensitivity Convey Greater Cardiovascular Risk?

澳大利亚成年人的盐摄入量超过了所需的10倍。此外，由于大量食用含盐零食和加工食品，幼儿的盐摄入量高得惊人。高盐饮食摄入与心血管疾病和死亡增加有关。我们将研究高盐饮食对成人和儿童的心血管风险，并研究转向低盐饮食是否能改善高盐饮食引起的高血压和心脏病

Salt intake of Australian adults is 10X more than required. Further, salt intake in very young children is alarmingly high secondary to high consumption of salty snacks and processed food. High dietary salt intake has been associated with increased cardiovascular disease and death. We will examine the cardiovascular risks for adults and children on a high salt diet and examine whether switching to a low salt diet ameliorates the high blood pressure and heart disease caused by high salt diets
