Associations between dietary potassium intake and urinary potassium excretion: a protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While numerous studies have reported associations between low dietary potassium intake and adverse clinical outcomes, methods to estimate potassium intake, mainly self-reported dietary measures and urinary potassium excretion, entail certain limitations. Self-reported measures are subject to underreporting and overreporting. Urinary potassium excretion is affected by multiple factors including renal function. Revealing the degree of bias inherent in these measures would help accurately assess potassium intake and its association with disease risk. We aim to summarize evidence on the strength of the associations between potassium intake estimated from 24-h urinary potassium excretion and potassium intake estimated from self-reported dietary measures or objective quantific
