The relation between sodium intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains controversial, partially due to inaccurate assessment of sodium intake. 24-hour urinary excretion over multiple days is considered the optimal method. We included individual participant data from 6 prospective cohorts of generally healthy adults in which sodium and potassium excretion were assessed by at least two 24-hour urine collections. Of 10,709 participants (54.2% women; mean [SD] age, 51.5 [12.6] years), 571 incident CVD events (myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, and stroke) were ascertained during a median follow-up of 8.8 years (incidence rate: 5.9 per 1000 person-years). We analyzed each cohort using consistent methods and combined results using random-effects meta-analysis. Median 24-hour urinary sodium (10th-90th percentile) was 3,270 (2,099-4,899) mg. Higher sodium, lower potassium excretion and higher sodium-to-potassium ratio were all associated with higher hazard of CVD after controlling for confounding factors (all P-values ≤0.005). The hazard ratio [HR] comparing top with bottom quartiles was 1.60 [95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.19-2.14] for sodium, 0.69 [0.51-0.91] for potassium and 1.62 [1.25-2.10] for sodium-to-potassium ratio. Each 1,000 mg/day increment in sodium excretion was associated with an 18% increase in CVD hazard (95%CI: 8%-29%) and each 1,000 mg/day increment in potassium excretion was associated with 18% lower hazard (95%CI: 6%-28%). These findings may support reducing sodium from current intakes and increasing potassium intakes to lower CVD risk. Higher sodium and lower potassium intakes, measured in multiple 24-hour urine samples, were associated with higher risk of CVD in a dose-response manner.
