Electrolyte profiles in a hypertensive population: The Newfoundland Study.
Analysis of the electrolyte composition of the diets of 4 population samples in Newfoundland demonstrated: high sodium and low potassium, calcium, magnesium, and zinc contents. It is suggested that these nutritional factors could contribute to the high prevalence of hypertension in this Province.
