  • Abstract
    The overall prevalence of hypertension in Turkey’s adult population is 21.4% and reaches a maximum of 43.3% in patients aged >65 years (1). The SALTURK study reported that Turkey’s salt consumption averages between 14.8 and 18.1 g per day (2, 3). This leads to a simple question, how much salt is too much salt?
