DESCRIPTION:Sodium intake increases blood pressure\, a risk factor for car
 diovascular disease. In Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study we carried ou
 t a study to model the estimated effect of sodium consumption on mortality
 . We quantified global sodium intake\, by age\, sex\, and country\, based 
 on urinary and dietary surveys from 66 countries representing 74.1% of the
  world population. We quantified blood pressure effects of sodium\, by age
 \, race\, and hypertension\, in a new meta-analysis of 107 trials\; and bl
 ood pressure effects on cardiovascular mortality\, by age\, from meta-anal
 ysis of cohorts. Cause-specific mortality was derived from the 2010 Global
  Burden of Diseases Study. We estimated cardiovascular impacts of current 
 sodium intake\, compared with reference intake of 2.0 g/d\, using comparat
 ive risk assessment\, by age\, sex\, and country. In this modelling study\
 , 1.65 million cardiovascular deaths were attributed to sodium consumption
  above a reference level of 2.0 g/d.
