The data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey between 2003 and 2014. Associations between serum sodium and BP are positive only for advanced age groups and for serum sodium level greater than 139–140 mmol/L in less advanced groups. These positive associations can be explained by traditional renal-centered mechanism. Inverse associations between systolic BP and serum sodium exist when sodium is less than ∼140 mmol/L in less advanced age groups (&lt;60 for men and &lt;70 for women). These inverse associations can partially be explained by the extrarenal regulatory mechanism in which sodium storage in negatively charged </span>glycosaminoglycans<span> in the interstitium<span><span> may be involved. Associations of high serum potassium and low BP are consistent and exist in most age groups. Effect of potassium on systolic BP and diastolic BP are more prominent in less advanced age groups. Age-dependent associations between sodium and BP support the theory that </span>sodium homeostasis in the body may not be regulated by renal-centered responses alone. There might be regulation of an extrarenal system in which sodium attraction by negatively charged glycosaminoglycans plays a role.</span></span></p></div>","PeriodicalId":17220,"journal":{"name":"Journal of The American Society of Hypertension","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.jash.2018.03.005","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"35970563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
