Twenty-Four-Hour Urinary Sodium and Potassium Excretion in China: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: 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 and nutritional strategies remain limited. Methods and Results We aimed to determine sodium and potassium intake by systematically searching for and quantitatively summarizing all published 24-hour urinary sodium and potassium data (ie, the most accurate method). MEDLINE , EMBASE , Scopus, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang were searched up to February 2019. All studies reporting 24-hour urinary sodium or potassium in China were included; hospitalized patients were excluded. Data were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis and heterogeneity was explored with meta-regression. Sodium data were report
