Potassium urinary excretion and dietary intake: a cross-sectional analysis in 8-10 year-old children.
BACKGROUND Data from studies assessing the intake of potassium, and the concomitant sodium-to-potassium ratio are limited. The aim of this study was to evaluate potassium and sodium-to-potassium ratio intake in 8-10 year-old children. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was carried out from January to June 2014 and data from 163 children (81 boys) were included. Potassium […]

Uncertainty in intake due to portion size estimation in 24-hour recalls varies between food groups.
Portion size estimation is expected to be one of the largest sources of uncertainty in dietary assessment of the individual. Therefore, we demonstrated a method to quantify uncertainty due to portion size estimation in the usual intake distributions of vegetables, fruit, bread, protein, and potassium. Dutch participants of the European Food Consumption Validation study completed […]

Increased potassium intake from fruit and vegetables or supplements does not lower blood pressure or improve vascular function in uk men and women with early hypertension: a randomised controlled trial.
K-rich fruit and vegetables may lower blood pressure (BP) and improve vascular function. A randomised controlled trial (ISRCTN50011192) with a cross-over design was conducted in free-living participants with early stages of hypertension (diastolic BP>80 and < 100 mmHg, not receiving BP-lowering medication) to test this hypothesis. Following a 3-week run-in period on a control diet, […]

Dash lowers blood pressure in obese hypertensives beyond potassium, magnesium and fibre.
Abstract The mechanism underlying blood pressure (BP) reduction in the high fruits and vegetables arm of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) study is unknown but may include potassium, magnesium and fibre. This study was designed to separate minerals and fibre from other components of DASH on BP in abdominally obese individuals with metabolic […]

Variation in intakes of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron and potassium in 10 countries in the european prospective investigation into cancer and nutrition study.
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Adequate mineral intake is important for the maintenance of bone health, cellular function and general metabolism, and possibly in the aetiology of cancer and other chronic diseases. This study aimed at investigating variation in intakes of selected minerals across 10 European countries participating in the EPIC (European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition) study.
