Association between salt intake and blood pressure among community-dwelling older adults based on their physical frailty status.

ABSTRACT: The effects of salt reduction and adequate nutrition intake among older adults with physical frailty remain controversial. Therefore, the present study investigated whether the association between daily salt intake and blood pressure among community-dwelling older adults, including the very old people, based on their physical frailty status.
