K(+) — decreases incidence of cardiovascular disease (composite)
ModerateEvidence strength: moderate. Human evidence with one recorded weakness, or capped at moderate by its design or by unread numbers.Findingreplicated ×2“Across quintiles, a higher potassium intake was associated with a 13% lower risk of total CVD (HR comparing extreme quintiles = 0.87, 95% CI: 0.79–0.96, p trend = 0.005).”
