Influence of sodium consumption and associated knowledge on poststroke hypertension in Uganda
Conclusions: High urine sodium and high salt-diet preferences were more frequent among poststroke hypertensive patients in Uganda than in their nonhypertensive counterparts. There was, however, no difference in dietary salt knowledge between these groups. The development of educational strategies that include salt-diet preferences may lead to better blood pressure control in this high-risk population.

Trends in 24-hours sodium and potassium intake, and association with all-cause mortality among US Stroke Survivors (S30.008)
CONCLUSIONS: Less than one in five stroke survivors in the US meet recommendations for sodium consumption. High sodium intake is associated with higher mortality after stroke among the elderly. The combination of high potassium and low sodium intake trended toward a better survival after stroke, highlighting the need for targeted dietary interventions.Disclosure: Dr. Lin has nothing to disclose.
