The United Kingdom
program of voluntary salt reduction, in collaboration with the food industry, has reduced 24-hour urinary sodium
levels by 15% and prevented an estimated 9,000 cardiovascular deaths each year since
the program began in 2003-2004, according to this comprehensive analysis.
The article provides an analysis of the program with the aim of providing a simple step-by-step guide for development
and implementation of a national salt reduction program that other countries
have already followed.
