有强有力的证据表明，盐摄入量的减少会降低血压，从而降低中风、心脏病发作和心力衰竭的风险。1问题是如何有效地减少人口食盐消费。一些发达国家已经成功地减少了盐的摄入量，主要是通过逐步降低加工食品的含盐量目标，加工食品占≈食盐摄入量的70-80%。然而，有两个发展中国家落在了后面。中国是世界上最大的发展中国家，有14亿人口。中国的食盐摄入量非常高，平均摄入量是世界卫生组织推荐的最高摄入量5g/d的两倍多。3与发达国家不同，中国≈80%的盐是消费者在烹饪过程中添加的。由于改变个人饮食行为的挑战，在这样的环境下减少盐的摄入量是非常困难的。
There is strong evidence that a reduction in salt intake lowers blood pressure and thereby reduces the risk of strokes, heart attacks and heart failure. 1 The question is how to effectively reduce population salt consumption. Several developed countries have been successful in reducing salt intake mainly by setting incrementally lower salt targets for processed foods which account for≈ 70-80% of the salt intake. 2 Developing countries, however, are lagging behind. China is the largest developing country with a population of 1.4 billion. Salt intake in China is very high, with an average intake of more than double the WHO recommended maximum of 5 g/d. 3 Unlike in developed countries, in China≈ 80% of the salt is added by the consumers during cooking. It is very difficult to reduce salt intake in such settings due to the challenge of changing individuals’ dietary behaviours.
