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 …

Because of the logistic complexity, excessive respondent burden, and high cost of
conducting 24-h urine collections in a national survey, alternative strategies to monitor …

Context The precise relationship between sodium and potassium intake and cardiovascular
(CV) risk remains uncertain, especially in patients with CV disease. Objective To determine …

Background: Collecting a 24-h urine sample is recommended for monitoring the mean
population sodium intake, but implementation can be difficult. Objective: The objective was …

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 …

This study aimed to assess current level of sodium and potassium intake and their
associations with blood pressure (BP) using the 24-hour urinary data in a large sample of …
