Low sodium intake was also associated with a potential reduction in the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) (RR = 0.85, 95% CI: 0.71–1.00, I 2 = 21), though this finding was marginally significant and should be interpreted with caution.
Sex-specific analysis showed no significant association in men (RR = 1.05, 95% CI: 0.91–1.19), whereas a borderline significant association was observed in women (RR = 1.18, 95% CI: 1.00–1.36).
