Early sodium intake and later blood pressure in preterm infants

A Lucas et al. Arch Dis Child. 1988 Jun.

Abstract

The relation between early salt intake and later hypertension is debated. As part of a larger feeding study, 347 preterm infants were randomly assigned to receive early diets differing grossly in sodium content. Feeding a high sodium preterm formula in the neonatal period did not influence arterial blood pressure at 18 months (corrected) age.
