Correction: McLean, R., Edmonds, J., Williams, S., Mann, J., Skeaff, S. Balancing Sodium and Potassium: Estimates of Intake in a New Zealand Adult Population Sample. Nutrients 2015, 7(11), 8930–8938DOI: 10.3390/nu8020065 Abstract: We would like to submit the following as a correction to our recently published paper. We calculated sodium-potassium ratios and compared them to an optimal sodium–potassium ratio recommended by WHO. The WHO optimal sodium–potassium ratio of 1.0 referred to in our paper is a molar ratio [1], whereas we have calculated the ratio (Table 2) using intakes expressed in mgs. There is some confusion in the literature on this issue, with some authors reporting the ratio using units of mg/day [2]. However, we accept that it is conventional, and therefore more useful from a public health standpoint, to report a molar ratio
