Popis: ObjectiveTo study the relationship between diet quality and 24 h urinary K excretion.DesignK was measured in 24 h urine samples, while diet was studied using a 24 h recall method over two consecutive days. Diet quality was determined using the Healthy Eating Index (HEI). The body weight, height and body composition of all participants were recorded, and the BMI of each calculated.SettingRepresentative members of the adult Spanish population from the FANPE Study (‘Fuentes Alimentarias de Nutrientes en Población Española’; Dietary Sources of Nutrients in the Spanish Population).SubjectsThe final sample size was 329 participants aged 18–60 years.ResultsParticipants with a 24 h urinary K excretion ≥93 mmol/d (group AP = adequate potassium) had greater self-reported K intakes, consumed more fruit and vegetables, had a more varied diet and had better HEI scores than those with a 24 h urinary K excretion P=0·039).ConclusionsDiet quality, measured by the HEI, is correlated with 24 h urinary K excretion in Spanish adults.
