Here, Hayman comments on the study by Buendia et al that examines prospectively the effect of dietary sodium, potassium, and the potassium to sodium ratio on adolescent blood pressure. She says higher potassium intakes (;2,400 mg/day) were inversely associated with BP change throughout adolescence and at end of follow-up. It is important to optimize dietary potassium intakes in childhood and adolescence and develop methods for estimating salt sensitivity for use in future studies of high-risk populations.
