Background. The potential influence of disorders of acid/base homeostasis on
cardiovascular risk factors has been suggested. Objectives. The aim of the study was to …

Background and aim Considering the inconsistencies in the cardiovascular effects of dietary
acid load and the impact of dietary acidity on the acid–base homeostasis within the body, we …

Background In this study we investigated the associations of dietary acid-base load,
identified by potential renal acid load (PRAL) and protein to potassium (Pro: K) ratio, with …

Objective Acid-base status, which can be affected by dietary acid load (DAL), has been
associated with risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and metabolic syndrome …

Background Acid–base imbalance has been reported to increase incidence of hypertension
and diabetes. However, the association between diet-induced acid load and cardiovascular …

Background: Dietary acid load affects acid–base homeostasis, which may be associated
with blood pressure (BP). Previous research on dietary acid load and BP in the community …

Background Existing epidemiological data on dietary acid load and cardiovascular disease
(CVD) are controversial. There is no literature evaluating the association between dietary …

Background: Conflicting evidence associates diet acidity with the incidence of chronic
diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, and bone-mineral disorders. It is …

Mild metabolic acidosis, which can be caused by diet, may adversely affect cardiometabolic
risk factors, possibly by increasing cortisol production. Methodologies for estimating diet …

Epidemiologic evidence on the associations between dietary acid load and metabolic risk
factors is limited and inconsistent. We investigated the hypothesis that dietary acid load is …
