| Resumen |
In a cross-sectional study of salt mine workers, the blood pressure levels of a group of workers occupationally exposed to salt were found not to be raised in comparison with a similar non-exposed group. The highest recorded concentration of salt in the air was 24.0mg/m3, equivalent to a maximum extra daily intake of 1.5mmol sodium. This increase in intake would be expected to produce only a small increase in systolic pressure and would not be detectable in a study of this type. A positive association was found between blood pressure and age and between blood pressure and body mass index. |
