Abstract:
This study examined the impact of overweight/obesity on sodium, potassium, and blood pressure associations using the Shandong‐Ministry of Health Action on Salt Reduction and Hypertension ( SMASH ) project baseline survey data. Twenty‐four–hour urine samples were collected in 1948 Chinese adults aged 18 to 69 years. The observed associations of sodium, potassium, sodium‐potassium ratio, and systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) were stronger in the overweight/obese population than among those of normal weight. Among overweight/obese respondents, each additional standard deviation ( SD ) higher of urinary sodium excretion ( SD =85 mmol) and potassium excretion ( SD =19 mmol) was associated with a 1.31 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, 0.37–2.26) and −1.43 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, −2.23 to −0.63) difference in SBP , and each higher unit in sodium‐potassium ratio was associated with a 0.54 mm Hg (95% confidence interval, 0.34–0.75) increase in SBP . The association between sodium, potassium, sodium‐potassium ratio, and prevalence of hypertension among overweight/obese patients was similar to that of SBP . Our study indicated that the relationships between BP and both urinary sodium and potassium might be modified by BMI status in Chinese adults.
