The Claim
In adult hypertensive inpatients in Shanxi Province, higher 24-hour urinary sodium excretion is associated with elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure across both sexes, with stronger correlations observed in women, suggesting sodium intake may be a more influential factor in blood pressure regulation among female hypertensive patients.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In people in Shanxi Province with high blood pressure, those who excrete more sodium in their urine tend to have higher blood pressure readings, and this link is even stronger in women, which might mean salt affects women’s blood pressure more than men’s.
