Loss of ovarian hormones increases salt-sensitivity in normotensive women. Hypertension. 2005 Nov;46(5):865.0194-911XWOS000233544900294http://hdl.handle.net/10668/501Salt 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.enMenopausia prematuraHipertensiónFemeninoHumanosCloruro de sodioEstudios prospectivosMedical Subject Headings::Organisms::Eukaryota::Animals::Chordata::Vertebrates::Mammals::Primates::Haplorhini::Catarrhini::Hominidae::HumansMedical Subject Headings::Check Tags::FemaleMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Cardiovascular Diseases::Vascular Diseases::HypertensionMedical Subject Headings::Diseases::Female Urogenital Diseases and Pregnancy Complications::Female Urogenital Diseases::Genital Diseases, Female::Adnexal Diseases::Ovarian Diseases::Menopause, PrematureMedical Subject Headings::Chemicals and Drugs::Inorganic Chemicals::Sodium Compounds::Sodium ChlorideMedical Subject Headings::Analytical, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Techniques and Equipment::Investigative Techniques::Epidemiologic Methods::Epidemiologic Study Characteristics as Topic::Epidemiologic Studies::Cohort Studies::Longitudinal Studies::Prospective Studiesconference presentationopen access1524-4563
