Researchers at the University of Delaware are conducting a research study for healthy individuals ages 40-60 to better understand how salt impacts blood pressure.

The purpose of this study is to understand how the body senses and responds to high salt concentrations in the blood, and if there is a difference between salt sensitive versus salt resistant individuals.

 

Interested individuals in the age range can fill out the interest form and will be contacted by the lab to set up an initial health screening at the University of Delaware to see if they are qualified to participate.
