The Role of Salt in the Fall of Blood Pressure Accompanying Reduction in Obesity
Abstract
THERE is considerable evidence that the incidence of hypertension is significantly greater among obese adults than among similar nonobese persons.1 , 2 Numerous studies have been published indicating that when weight reduction is brought about in such cases a fall in the elevated blood pressure frequently follows.3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Although this extensive list suggests a remarkable agreement among observers, at least two authors have expressed doubt that a decline in weight is responsible for a decline in the high blood pressure of obese subjects.14 , 15 For some years one of us (L.K.D.) has been interested in the relation of sodium to the hypertensive process in . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
