Women would see bigger drops in strokes from eating less salt than men, especially Black women with 9-15% fewer strokes compared to 5-9% for other women.
Scientific Claim
Women are projected to have greater reductions in stroke incidence than men from dietary salt reduction, with black women experiencing 9–15% and non-black women 5–9% reductions.
Original Statement
“Women were projected to have greater reductions in stroke than men, with rates decreasing by 9–15% among black women and by 5–9% among non-black women.”

Assessment Explanation
The study is a computational model that explicitly projects these numbers, so using 'projected' is appropriate. The claim accurately reflects the model's output without implying causation.
