Estimated 24-Hour Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion in US Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

In 2010, the Institute of Medicine (now the National Academy of Medicine) recommended collecting 24-hour urine to estimate US sodium intake because previous studies indicated 90% of sodium consumed was excreted in urine.

Objective

To estimate mean population sodium intake and describe urinary potassium excretion among US adults.

Design, setting, and participants

In a nationally representative cross-sectional survey of the US noninstitutionalized population, 827 of 1103 (75%) randomly selected, nonpregnant participants aged 20 to 69 years in the examination component of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) collected at least one 24-hour urine specimen in 2014.
