What is the effect of potassium-enriched salt on cardiovascular mortality and medical expenses of elderly men?
A study conducted by Chang et al. (2006) found that potassium-enriched salt had a positive effect on the cardiovascular mortality and medical expenses of elderly men. The study found that men aged 65 years and older who consumed potassium-enriched salt had a lower risk of death from stroke and other cardiovascular diseases, compared to those who consumed regular salt. Additionally, the study found that the use of potassium-enriched salt was associated with lower medical expenses. These results suggest that the use of potassium-enriched salt could reduce the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular diseases in elderly men, as well as reduce medical expenses.
