Cutting 1 gram from daily saltintake could ward off nearly 9 million cases of stroke/heart disease in China
and therefore the risk of cardiovascular disease, which accounts for 40% of all deaths in China every year.
The third was reducing salt intake to less than 5 g/day by 2030, the target set by the Chinese government in its action plan for health and development,"Healthy China 2030."—the higher number in a blood pressure reading that indicates the force at which the heart pumps blood around the body—and the subsequent risk of heart attacks/stroke and cardiovascular disease deaths.
Achieving the WHO's interim target by 2025 would require a 3.2 g/day fall in salt intake. Were this to be maintained for another 5 years, a cumulative total of about 14 million cases of heart disease and strokes could be prevented by 2030—6 million of them fatal. The benefits of a reduction in dietary salt intake would apply to men and women of all ages across China, say the researchers.
