This conflation has irked me for years. People seem to think DEI and health disparities are synonymous. While DEI efforts may help with issues such as wealth inequality & educational attainment, which may help shrink health disparities in the long run, these are essentially two separate issues!

🧂Our controlled feeding pilot trial suggests potential sex differences in kidney responses to dietary salt. With a high salt diet, females may increase endothelin-1 excretion more. Endothelin-1 is a potent vasoconstrictor peptide and promotes salt excretion by the kidneys.
