Serum Potassium Is Positively Associated With Stroke and Mortality in the Large, Population-Based Malmo Preventive Proȷect Cohort Clinical Sciences
Background and Purpose—Low serum potassium is associated with stroke in populations with cardiovascular disease, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus but has not been studied in a mainly healthy population. We aimed to study the relation between serum potassium and incident stroke and mortality in the Malmö Preventive Project, a large cohort with screening in early mid-life and follow-up>25 years.Methods—Serum potassium measurements and covariates were available in 21 353 individuals (79% men, mean age 44 years). Mean follow-up time was 26.9 years for stroke analyses and 29.3 years for mortality analyses. There were ...

Dietary Sodium to Potassium Ratio and Risk of Stroke in a Multiethnic Urban Population Clinical Sciences
Conclusions—Na:K intake is an independent predictor of stroke risk. Further studies are required to understand the joint effect of Na and K intake on risk of cardiovascular disease.

Potassium Intake and Risk of Stroke in Women With Hypertension and Nonhypertension in the Women's Health Initiative Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— High potassium intake is associated with a lower risk of all stroke and ischemic stroke, as well as all-cause mortality in older women, particularly those who are not hypertensive.
