Salt intake has been on the decrease in China since 2000, but it currently is still nearly twice the amount recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO),a new study said Tuesday.
The study, published in the U. S. journal JAMA, was based on total diet surveys in 2000 and 2009 -2011 in 12 of China's 31 mainland provinces, covering at least 46 percent of the Chinese population.
The researchers found the average dietary salt consumption (消耗量)of Chinese residents decreased by 22. 2 percent, from 11.8 grams per day in 2000 to 9. 2 grams per day in 2009.
"If we continue on the current pace, it's possible for China to achieve the target proposed by the World Health Organization to reduce average daily salt consumption by 30 percent by 2025, ” lead author Yongning Wu of the China National Center for Food Safety Risk Assessment, told Xinhua.
But simply weighing dietary salt intake underestimated (低估)sodium (钠)consumption in China, Wu noted.
When taking salt from soy sauce (酱油), processed foods and pickled (腌制的)vegetables into account, sodium intake in China in the studied years decreased just by 12. 3 percent, from 6. 4 grams per day to 5. 6 grams per day, he said.
“ This rate is not optimistic, ”said Wu.
The WHO recommends that people should consume less than five grams of salt, or two grams of sodium per day.
“ Although average salt consumption of Chinese residents fell a lot during the 10 years, it's still far from the ideal sodium intake,” Wu said.
Rising occurrence of high blood pressure and other chronic diseases also indicated that China needed to strictly control and continuously reduce salt intake.
A study published in the U. S. journal The New England Journal of Medicine in 2014 showed that about 1.65 million heart --- related deaths per year worldwide can be caused by high sodium consumption.
