Analysis showed that after a mean follow-up period of 3.7 years, a higher estimated sodium excretion (7.00 g/day or more) was associated with a 15% greater likelihood of a major cardiovascular event or death, compared with an estimated sodium excretion that was in the reference range (4.00 to 5.99 g/day). However, the authors also found that a low estimated sodium excretion, of less than 3.00 g/day, was associated with a 27% greater risk of cardiovascular events and death compared with the reference range.
