Effects of Potassium or Sodium Supplementation on Mineral Homeostasis: A Controlled Dietary Intervention Study.

Context: Although dietary potassium and sodium intake may influence calcium-phosphate metabolism and bone health, the effects on bone mineral parameters, including fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23), are unclear.

Objective: Here, we investigated the effects of potassium or sodium supplementation on bone mineral parameters.

Design, Setting, Participants: We performed a post hoc analysis of a dietary controlled randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled crossover trial.

Milk and dairy consumption and risk of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality: dose-response meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies.

With a growing number of prospective cohort studies, an updated dose-response meta-analysis of milk and dairy products with all-cause mortality, coronary heart disease (CHD) or cardiovascular disease (CVD) have been conducted. PubMed, Embase and Scopus were searched for articles published up to September 2016. Random-effect meta-analyses with summarised dose-response data were performed for total (high-fat/low-fat) dairy, milk, fermented dairy, cheese and yogurt.

Potassium supplementation and heart rate: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Background And Aims: Increasing the intake of potassium has been shown to lower blood pressure, but whether it also affects heart rate (HR) is largely unknown. We therefore assessed the effect of potassium supplementation on HR in a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Methods And Results: We searched PubMed (1966-October 2014) for randomized, placebo-controlled trials in healthy adults with a minimum duration of two weeks in which the effect of increased potassium intake on HR was assessed.

Dairy Consumption and Risk of Stroke: A Systematic Review and Updated Dose-Response Meta-Analysis of Prospective Cohort Studies.

Background: A higher milk consumption may be associated with a lower stroke risk. We conducted a comprehensive systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of milk and other dairy products in relation to stroke risk.

Methods And Results: Through a systematic literature search, prospective cohort studies of dairy foods and incident stroke in stroke-free adults were identified.

Consumption of dairy foods and diabetes incidence: a dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies.

Background: A growing number of cohort studies suggest a potential role of dairy consumption in type 2 diabetes (T2D) prevention. The strength of this association and the amount of dairy needed is not clear.

Objective: We performed a meta-analysis to quantify the associations of incident T2D with dairy foods at different levels of intake.
