Salt is consumed in excess in most countries, with global salt intake averaging at more than double the recommended maximum limit of 5 g per day. By raising blood pressure, excess salt intake is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of premature death and ill health worldwide. In 2013, all WHO Member States committed to a 30% reduction in average salt intake by 2025. However, as of 2023, none were on track to achieve it.¹

强制性盐目标：全球减盐工作的关键政策工具


在大多数国家/地区，盐的摄入量过量，全球盐摄入量平均是建议每天 5 克的最大摄入量的两倍多。通过升高血压，过量摄入盐分是心血管疾病的主要危险因素，心血管疾病是全球过早死亡和健康状况不佳的主要原因。2013 年，世卫组织所有会员国承诺到 2025 年将平均盐摄入量减少 30%。然而，截至 2023 年，没有人能走上实现这一目标的轨道。¹
