Not really convinced by the last line: >The current recommendations to reduce salt intake from 9-12 to 5-6 g/d will have a major effect on BP, but are not ideal. A further reduction to 3 g/d will have a greater effect and should become the long term target for population salt intake. First, this latter recommendation is not tested by the study; second, lower BP is not always optimal, as anyone who's ever experienced a fall resulting from orthostatic hypotension can attest. It isn't obvious, but accidents are among the top 10 causes of death in older people, and falls comprise more than half: https://www.verywell.com/top-causes-of-death-among-adults-over-65-2967470 https://www.verywell.com/top-causes-of-death-among-adults-ov...
