Abstract
Hypertension has become an increasingly important topic to healthcare providers across the world for the mitigation of heart disease. Seemingly, the severity of this condition has resulted in many organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Heart Association (AHA) taking a stand towards stricter values associated with the diagnosis of hypertension. The potential causes of this condition are widely accepted within the scientific community, however, the restriction of salt as a reliable component toward its reduction is still debated. Studies demonstrating the potentiality of its positive relationship mostly center on data collected from researchers in the form of independent trials through diet control methods. The variability and lack of control towards confounding factors such as reliable self-respondent eating habits, stress, history of diabetes mellitus (DM), and chronic kidney disease (CKD) have created a considerable examination of its reliability. This working metanalysis describes the association of salt with blood pressure as it relates to eating habits using data from multiple peer-reviewed journals and statistics from the WHO. Aspects examined in this report will primarily focus on rates of hypertension with salt intake as well as confounding factors such as CKD and DM and dietary intake.
