A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study investigates the relationship between hydration, potassium intake, and cardiovascular health in Non-Hispanic Black adults aged 18-30. It aims to address the elevated risks of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease in this population, particularly focusing on the impact of hydration status and potassium supplementation. Participants will receive interventions involving water and potassium supplementation to assess changes in blood pressure and hydration levels. The study also considers socioeconomic factors that may influence hydration practices among racial and ethnic minorities.
