Adjusted odds ratio (OR) of estimated usual sodium and potassium intake and their ratio for hypertension among adults aged ≥20 years who were not taking antihypertensive medication, NHANES 2005–2010.

1P-value for trend across percentiles of estimated usual intake of sodium based on Satterthwaite adjusted F-test; all tests were two-tailed. 2Adjusted for age as categorical variable (in every 5-year increment), gender, race/ethnicity, body mass index, education, use of table salt, smoking status, history of cardiovascular disease, self-reported chronic kidney disease, diabetes mellitus, alcohol use and physical activity. Sodium and potassium intake were adjusted for concurrently in the same model, and the models for sodium-to-potassium ratio did not adjust for sodium and potassium intake.
