I see the opposite conclusion from the study that you cited, which is that high sodium is not indicated.

Sodium and Potassium Intake and Mortality Among US Adults
Prospective Data From the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

Conclusion: Our findings suggest that a higher sodium-potassium ratio is associated with significantly increased risk of CVD [cardiovascular diseases] and all-cause mortality, and higher sodium intake is associated with increased total mortality in the general US population.
