Abstract
Salt sensitivity (SS) is associated with an elevated risk of developing hypertension(HTN) and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. Cross-sectional studies have suggested that postmenopausal women are more salt sensitive than premenopausal women. The purpose of the present study was to investigate prospectively the prevalence of SS among healthy premenopausal women and determine whether the loss of ovarian hormones increases SS.
