Mediation effect of SSBP between Na/K ratio and 10-year CVD risk. Illustration diagram of regression analysis steps necessary to conduct a simple mediation model (A). Mediation effect of SSBP between 24hUNa/K and the 10-year CVD risk (B). Footnote: unstandardized regression coefficients (τ, τ′, α, and β) were used in the model. The regression coefficient between 24hUNa/K and the 10-year CVD risk, controlling for SSBP, is indicated as τ’ (direct effect) while the regression coefficient between 24hUNa/K and the 10-year CVD risk only (total effect) is indicated as τ. ***: p < 0.001.
