The Claim
In adult hypertensive inpatients in Shanxi Province, lower 24-hour urinary potassium excretion is associated with higher systolic blood pressure, particularly during nighttime, and this inverse association is more consistent in women than in 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.
People in Shanxi Province with high blood pressure who pee out less potassium tend to have higher blood pressure, especially at night—and this pattern is stronger in women than in men.
