dc.description.abstractModest reductions in salt intake could substantially reduce cardiovascular disease throughout India. This study predicted rates of future myocardial infarctions (MI) and strokes in India using a Markov model, simulating men and women aged 40 to 69 in both urban and rural locations, and incorporating the risk reduction from lower salt intake. Results indicate the largest decline in MIs would be among younger urban men, but the greatest number of averted strokes would be among rural men, and nearly one-third of averted strokes and one-fifth of averted MIs would be among rural women.en
