T, tertile; 24HUNa, 24 h urinary Na; 24HUK, 24 h urinary K; 24HUNa-K Ratio, 24 h urinary Na-K ratio; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic BP. 1 Mean ± standard deviation. 2 LS mean ± standard error. Values with different superscript letters within a row are significantly different means by Tukey’s multiple comparison test, p < 0.05. 3 Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. 4 Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, energy intake, smoking status, regular exercise status, chronic disease prevalence status, recruitment area, household income, and blood pressure medication.
