The team of experts examined
The team of experts examined 775 teenagers who were measured for the elasticity of their bronchial artery (Braced), blood vessel located in the upper arm. Their pulse wave velocity (PWN) was also measured for differences in the speed at which the blood travels between their carotid artery in the neck and femoral artery in the groin. Iphone
Along with this, the amount of sodium these participants consumed was measured with the help of a self-reported, 3-day diet record. The results showed that higher average daily sodium intake
was associated with lower Braced (higher arterial stiffness) and higher PWV. The researchers also took into consideration factors like their age, race, sex, body-mass index and other blood electrolyte levels that could affect the readings. Read More......
