Dietary patterns extracted from the current Japanese diet and their associations with sodium and potassium intakes estimated by repeated 24 h urine collection
Objective To identify dietary patterns in the current Japanese diet and evaluate the associations between these patterns and Na and K intakes. Design Dietary patterns were extracted by factor analysis from the intakes of food groups assessed with a validated self-administrated diet history questionnaire. Na and K intakes and urinary Na:K were assessed by repeated 24 h urine collection. Subjects Healthy Japanese adults aged 20–69 years (353 men an…
