Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The data suggests that even though there was a statistically significant association between high sodium intake and the prevalence of hypertension among normal-weight subjects, the difference in prevalence between the lowest and highest sodium intake groups was only 0.4 percent, which may not have much practical importance. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Options A, C, and D are not supported by the data given.
