... . Three surveys provided estimates of usual intake of potassium and sodium from dietary sources: the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES)

... For the hypertension-stratified intake distributions, the blood pressure status of children and adolescents was categorized using the 2017 American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines (Flynn et al., 2017) ; the blood pressure status of adults was categorized using the 2017 American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association guidelines (Whelton et al., 2018)

... Additional NHANES Analyses Specific to Infants Although the distributions of usual intake of potassium and sodium described above included the DRI age categories of infants 0–6 and 7–12 months of age, the estimates excluded NHANES participants who were breastfed. The committee, therefore, sought additional analyses of usual potassium and sodium intake that included NHANES participants 0–12 months of age who were breastfed.

... Because the NCI method allows for esti 3  Intake distribution tables included estimates for all participants and estimates stratified by hypertension status. For the hypertension-stratified intake distributions, blood pressure status was categorized based on the participant's response to the question, "Do you have high blood pressure?

... Observations were removed if they were within ± 2, 2.5, or 3 standard deviations from the mean distribution of the difference of the first and second recall values, with the cutoff providing the greatest improvement in the within/between-person variance ratio chosen.5,6 Pregnant and lactating women were included in analyses of those specific categories, but were excluded from other analyses. Usual intake estimates of potassium and sodium from CCHS Nutrition 2015 excluded salt added at the table and potassium and sodium intakes from supplements or medications.

... Nutrient data were analyzed using NDSR, which made updates to baby foods and infant formulas prior to the start of the study, and brand-name products were updated using user recipes during data collection. A total of 3,235 interviews were completed for the first 24-hour recall, including 600 infants aged 0–5.9 months, 902 infants aged 6–11.9 months, and 1,733 infants aged 1–47.9 months; 799 participants completed the second 24-hour recall.
