Data researches such as sodium, potassium intake and blood pressure were obtained from researched articles, tabulated and analyzed. Data were qualitative analyzed. The results of this research more hypertension patients female, in age range between ≥ 30 years old - ≥ 80 years old. The range sodium intake between 394,75 – 2432,1, The range of percentages 60,3 - 82.4% and The range potassium intake between 1012,72 - 2287,24, The range of percentages 50 – 89,8 %. Based on the results, it was recognized that 4 journals stated the relationship between sodium intake with the incidence of hypertension and 4 journals stated there was no relationship between sodium intakes with the incidence of hypertension, whereas all journals stated there was no relationship between potassium intakes with hypertensionKeywords: blood pressure, sodium and potassium intake.]]>
