These studies suggest that high sodium intake is associated with increased risks of cardiovascular disease, kidney disease progression, obesity, and impaired glucose homeostasis, and is linked to higher mortality rates.

High sodium intake has been widely studied for its potential health risks, particularly concerning cardiovascular disease (CVD), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and other health outcomes. This synthesis aims to consolidate findings from multiple research papers to provide a comprehensive understanding of the risks associated with high sodium intake.
Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Risk:
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Risk:
Obesity:
Mortality and Health Outcomes:
High sodium intake poses significant health risks, particularly for cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, and obesity. Reducing sodium intake to recommended levels can mitigate these risks and improve overall health outcomes. However, both excessively low and high sodium intakes are associated with increased mortality, indicating the importance of maintaining a balanced sodium intake. Further research is needed to refine these recommendations and understand the underlying mechanisms.
