Dietary sodium-to-potassium ratio

1. Dietary sodium-to-potassium ratio is associated with continuous MetS severity score in humans (β 0.088, 95% CI 0.034-0.141).

   “as well as a higher continuous MetS severity score (β = 0.088, 95% CI: 0.034-0.141, p = 0.001).”

1. Dietary sodium-to-potassium ratio is associated with hypertension in humans (OR 1.144, 95% CI 1.023-1.279).

   “A higher Na/K ratio was independently associated with increased odds of hypertension (OR = 1.144, 95% CI: 1.023-1.279, p = 0.018)”
