The Claim
In adult hypertensive inpatients in Shanxi Province, sex differences exist in the pattern of association between urinary sodium and potassium excretion and blood pressure, with women demonstrating broader and stronger correlations across multiple blood pressure metrics compared to men.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In men and women with high blood pressure in Shanxi Province, women’s blood pressure seems to be more closely linked to how much salt and potassium they pee out, and this link shows up in more ways than it does in men.
