All-cause mortality and stroke rates by quartiles of dietary potassium intake

		All-cause mortality		Stroke (all)		Stroke (no Hx of MI)		Ischemic Stroke		Hemorrhagic Stroke
Quartiles of Dietary Potassium (mg)	Participant number	Event number	Annualized rate*	Event number	Annualized rate*	Event number	Annualized rate*	Event number	Annualized rate*	Event number	Annualized rate*
Q1: < 1925.5	22534	3096	13.03	793	3.40	750	3.29	574	2.48	125	0.55
Q2: ≥1925.5 – 2519.4	22534	2921	11.65	769	3.12	732	3.03	542	2.21	128	0.53

Q4: >=3193.6	22534	2894	11.30	765	3.03	734	2.96	544	2.17	125	0.51
Overall	90137	11596	11.60	3046	3.10	2903	3.01	2190	2.24	484	0.50

p for trend for all cause mortality = .0002, no significance for other endpoints

^*Annualized rate is defined as number of events per 1000 person years
