High sodium intake and sodium to potassium ratio may be linked to subsequent increase in vascular damage in adults aged 40 years and older: The Korean multi-rural communities cohort (MRCohort)
European Journal of Nutrition May 27, 2018
Jung S, et al. - Researchers studied the longitudinal association of dietary sodium (Na) intake and sodium to potassium ratio (Na:K) with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) in healthy adults aged 40 years and older in Korea. They concluded that there may exist positive associations of dietary Na intake and Na:K with subsequent baPWV and cIMT levels in adults aged 40 years and older in Korea. In particular for populations with relatively high dietary Na intake and low dietary K intake, these data may offer informative evidence on subclinical vascular damage.
