摘要: Excessive salt intake is associated with hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Salt exceeds the World Health Organization population nutrition goal of 5 grams per day in European region. We assessed health impact reduction nine countries (Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden United Kingdom). Through literature research we obtained current systolic blood pressure levels countries. The modeling tool DYNAMO-HIA including country-specific disease data was used to predict changes prevalence ischemic heart stroke for each country estimating effect through its on levels. A 30% would reduce by 6.4% Finland 13.5% Poland. Ischemic be decreased 4.1% 8.9% When reduced WHO nutrient goal, it from 10.1% 23.1% decrease 6.6% 15.5% number postponed deaths 102,100 (0.9%) 191,300 (2.3%) expected substantially burden mortality several
