Relationship between Dietary Cations and Blood Pressure

Abstract: The relationship between dietary cations and blood pressure is complex. Epidemiological evidence points to a significant independent positive relationship between dietary sodium and blood pressure. The same evidence favours the existence of a significant negative relationship between dietary potassium and blood pressure. On a molar basis 1 mmol of potassium is about 2.5 times more effective in lowering blood pressure than sodium is in raising it. The evidence concerning the effect of dietary calcium on blood p… Show more

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends <2,000 mg/day (20), but most of the world’s population consumes 2,300 to 4,600 mg sodium daily (21). Few studies have attempted to characterize the foods and food groups that are sources of sodium or to assess relative contributions from various sources (eg, inherent in foods, added during food processing, added as discretionary salt at home in cooking and at table, and salt in water and pharmaceuticals) (22-25). To our knowledge, no study has systematically compared dietary sources of salt in multiple countries.…”

“…4 Se reconocen desde hace años como problemas de salud importantes en el mundo actual las afecciones cardiovasculares, la hipertensión y la diabetes Mellitus, donde aparece la nutrición como elemento de causalidad: dietas bajas en proteínas y fibra dietética, 5,6 contenido de sal, 7 niveles plasmáticos de ácido ascórbico, 8 papel del calcio en la regulación insulínica 9 y la ingestión de otros cationes (K, Mg). 10 Lo relativamente nuevo es que la tradicional prevalencia masculina de estas enfermedades ha dejado de existir, al menos en Cuba. 11 Indiscutiblemente la malnutrición materna condiciona problemas carenciales que afectan la posibilidad de supervivencia del feto y su futuro desarrollo psicomotor, algo directamente relacionado con las posibilidades de conservación de la especie humana.…”
