Grant Activity:
Exploring the impact of the sodium-to-potassium ratio on longitudinal adolescent trajectories of blood pressure and cardiovascular risk
Purpose:

Australian teens have high salt and low fruit and vegetable intake. This poor dietary pattern can raise the sodium to potassium ratio (Na:K) in urine which is a marker that predicts high blood pressure (BP) and heart disease. At puberty, teens show a natural rise in BP which may be exacerbated by a high urinary Na:K. As no data directly support this hypothesis, this study will explore the impact the urinary Na:K has upon BP and heart disease risk in a cohort of Australian adolescents.
