Association between serum sodium level within normal range and handgrip strength in relation to hypertension status: a cross-sectional study

Abstract Serum sodium concentration within the normal range could act as an indicator of age-related changes such as decrease in muscle strength and impairment of capillary function. Since endothelial injury stimulates endothelial repair by enhancing CD34-positive cell production, the level of serum...
