BACKGROUND: Nutritional factors play an important role in the regulation of blood pressure
and in the development of hypertension. In this analysis, we explored the associations of 24 …

Background Higher levels of sodium intake are reported to be associated with higher blood
pressure. Whether this relationship varies according to levels of sodium or potassium intake …

Although a causal relationship between sodium (Na) intake and blood pressure is generally
admitted to exist, few data on the actual intake of Na in different populations are available …

Background: Higher levels of sodium and lower levels of potassium intake are associated
with higher blood pressure. However, the shape and magnitude of these associations can …

Objective: To assess the relationship between dietary sodium intake, as measured by
urinary electrolyte excretion, and blood pressure within a population of older Australian …

Background Dietary sodium intake is associated with blood pressure and hypertension risk.
However, most of the studies have been conducted in whites and it is not clear whether the …

During an epidemiological survey, the dietary intake and urinary excretion of sodium,
potassium, calcium and magnesium were measured by means of the 24 h food record …

Methods: A total of 1232 hypertensive patients were recruited consecutively by 47 centers
recognized by the Italian Society of Hypertension. The enrolled participants were on stable …

Available data indicate that dietary sodium (as salt) relates directly to blood pressure (BP).
Most of these findings are from studies lacking dietary data; hence, it is unclear whether this …

Background Several studies reported a U-shaped association between urinary sodium
excretion and cardiovascular disease events and mortality. Whether these associations vary …
