DIETARY SALT AND HEALTH, 2000-2009

摘要：

Executive summaryFor decades, public health nutrition policymakers have been asking the wrong question in the ongoing debate over whether reducing population salt intake would improve public health. From the outset, the question has been framed in terms of blood pressure. Solid evidence shows that populations with higher average blood pressures have significantly more heart attacks and strokes. Other quality studies demonstrate that significant reductions in salt intake can modestly reduce average population blood pressure, though the effect varies widely. Epidemiologists have argued for decades whether it is valid, on the basis of projected blood pressure lowering through salt reduction to extrapolate the cardiovascular benefits of populations with lower average blood pressures.
