This study aimed to investigate how dietary recommendations have been followed in US adults with hypertension over time.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Cross-sectional data on adults with hypertension was pooled from 12 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (1999-2023). Dietary electrolyte intake was stratified as: (1) sodium \u22642300 mg\/day (recommended) or \u22641500 mg\/day (ideal), and (2) potassium \u22653500 mg\/day (recommended) or \u22654700 mg\/day (ideal).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n From 1999 to 2023, 29.4% (95% confidence interval: 28.6-30.1) and 20.3% (19.6-21.0) of adults with hypertension met recommended sodium and potassium intakes, respectively, with 1.3% (1.1-1.5) meeting both levels. Adults with hypertension meeting ideal intakes for sodium, potassium, and both represented 9.5% (9.1-10.0), 6.1% (5.7-6.6), and 0.03% (0.01-0.06), respectively. The proportion meeting recommended thresholds for sodium has followed a U-shape over time reaching a minimum [24.3% (21.6-26.9)] in 2011-12 before increasing to 34.5% (31.3-37.7) in 2021-23 (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001). The proportion meeting the recommended potassium intake, however, has declined over time [yearly prevalence ratio\u2009=\u20090.99 (0.98-0.99), P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001] reaching the lowest point [15.3% (13.5-17.0)] in 2021-23. The correlations between intakes of sodium and potassium, calories and sodium, and calories and potassium were 0.62, 0.77, and 0.71, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n A low percentage of adults with hypertension met both recommended sodium and potassium intakes with higher intakes of potassium associated with high sodium and
