Salt Intake and Kidney Outcomes in Older Adults With Chronic Kidney Disease: A Stage-Specific Cohort Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at older adults, age 75 and up, with kidney disease. It checked how much salt they ate and how their kidneys did over time. It is an observational study, so it shows a link between salt and kidney decline, but not proof that salt causes it. This helps doctors advise older patients on diet.
