Hypothetical pathway of 5 diet-related factors in relation to CHD. T-Cho: total cholesterol, BMI: body mass index (body weight (kg)/height (m)2), Na/Cr: 24-hour urinary (24U) sodium (Na, g) to creatinine (Cr, g) ratio, M/Cr = 24U-magnesium (M, mg) to Cr ratio, T/Cr = 24U-taurine (T, mmol) to Cr ratio. Significant difference: *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.Back to article page
