Background. Epidemiologic studies, including trials, suggest an association between potassium intake and blood pressure (BP). However, the strength and shape of this relationship is uncertain. Methods and Results. We performed a meta‐analysis to explore the dose‐response relationship between potassium supplementation and BP in randomized‐controlled trials with a duration ≥4 weeks using the recently developed 1‐...

To investigate the shape of the relation between cadmium exposure and breast cancer incidence and mortality in cohort studies. Data sources. Following a literature search through April 14, 2020, we carried out a systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis to investiga...
