Background In China, high sodium and low potassium intakes result in elevated blood
pressure, a major cause of cardiovascular disease, yet the intake estimates lack accuracy …

The objective of this study was to investigate the associations between potassium and
obesity/metabolic syndrome. We identified eight relevant studies and applied meta-analysis …

High salt intake is the major cause of raised blood pressure and accordingly leads to
cardiovascular diseases. Recently, it has been shown that high salt intake is associated with …

High-sodium and low-potassium intakes are interdependently linked to hypertension and
cardiovascular diseases. We investigated the associations of dietary sodium-to-potassium …

Higher intakes of Na may contribute to weight gain. The primary aim of this systematic
review and meta-analysis was to examine the relationship between dietary Na intake and …

RESULTS This review included 3 systematic reviews, consisting of 39 unique observational
studies (35 cross-sectional studies and 4 longitudinal studies) and 15 randomized controlled …

The prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has been greatly increased, worldwide. In
recent years, investigators have proposed that sodium might contribute to the development …

Emerging evidence indicates that dietary Na may be linked to obesity; however it is unclear
whether this relationship is independent of energy intake (EI). The aim of this study was to …

Objective The aim of this study was to explore the association between sodium intake, as
assessed by 24-h urinary sodium excretion, and various obesity parameters among South …

Although increasing evidences suggest a relationship between hypertension and brain
function for years, it is still unclear whether hypertension constitutes a risk factor for cognitive …
