Beschreibungen/Notizen
In a cluster-randomized trial, villages were assigned in a 1:1 ratio to use a salt substitute (75% sodium chloride and 25% potassium chloride by mass) or regular salt. Among persons who had a history of stroke or were 60 years of age or older and had hypertension, rates of stroke, major cardiovascular events, and death were lower with the salt substitute, which had no apparent serious adverse effects.
