Associations of sodium and potassium consumption with the gut microbiota and host metabolites in a population-based study in Chinese adults.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that sodium and potassium consumption is associated with taxa and metabolites that have been implicated in cardiometabolic health, providing insights into the potential roles of gut microbiota and host metabolites in the pathogenesis of sodium- and potassium-associated diseases. More studies are needed to confirm our results.
