An increasing sodium intake by 20%, so in these 20% increments, wasn't associated with any change in bone mineral density over three or six years. When looking at the actual hip fracture incidence risk, there was actually evidence of a lower of a 19% lower hip fracture risk with these 20% increment increases in sodium intake. And then when they looked at sodium intake above or below the current recommendations for sodium, which is less than 2,300 milligrams a day, again, there was no significant association with change in bone minerals. So overall, essentially the opposite, its design as a prospective study would certainly have stronger inference than the cross-sectional studies that we discussed previously.
