Hypertension The INTERSALT Study investigators collected standardized data on timed 24-hour urinary excretion for 10,079 men and women from 52 population samples in 32 countries (Brown et al.) [14] One of the goals of the INTERSALTStudy was to quantify the relationship between 24-hour urinary Na ly) and estimated 24-hour urinary Na (x) obtained from casual urine specimens at one point in time. The investigators presented a simple linear regression of y on x, separately for men and women. The regression equation for men was: Y 1.03 x 7.19, with R2 0.27, n 1369 11.25 What does the R2 of 0.27 mean in words?
