[Methodological problems of evaluation of electrolyte intake in the clinical and population studies]
Abstract:
The paper deals with methodological problems of electrolyte intake in clinical and population-based studies. Marked inter- and intraindividual fluctuations were found to substantially affect the reliability of assessing the intake of electrolytes, which should be borne in mind in practice. Specifically, individual-based reliable characteristics of electrolyte intake (excretion) may be obtained after examining at least 8 daily urinary collections. The adequate validity of group electrolyte intake may be attained when a group consists of at least 8 persons. It is shown that it is feasible to employ the definite urine amounts to gain an insight into electrolyte intake.

Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
