Popis: Objective Several studies have suggested that high dietary Na/K ratio and body mass index (BMI) increase the prevalence of hypertension. However, there have been a few reports on the combination of these two factors and their relationship with hypertension. This study aimed to examine the association of the combined estimated 24-h urinary Na/K ratio (24h-u-Na/K) (high or low) and BMI (high or low) with the risk of high blood pressure.Method We performed a cross-sectional study involving 1,112 participants (340 men and 772 women) of the Kobe Orthopedic and Biomedical Epidemiological study (KOBE study) who had no cardiovascular diseases or current anti-hypertensive medications. Sex-specific analyses were performed. The 24h-u-Na/K ratio was calculated from an estimation formula using collected spot urine. Participants were divided into four groups based on their 24h-u-Na/K ratio (low or high) and BMI (low or high), with the cutoff points being the median and 25 kg/m
