Reducing salt to 5 grams daily doesn’t lower iodine levels in India, even with mandatory iodization, supporting safe salt reduction for heart health.
印度慢性病控制中心的一项新研究发现,即使在一个实行强制性食盐加碘的国家,将每日食盐摄入量减少到建议的5克水平也不会降低碘含量。
A new study by India’s Centre for Chronic Disease Control finds that reducing daily salt intake to the recommended 5 grams does not lower iodine levels, even in a country with mandatory salt iodization.
研究人员对德里和哈里亚纳的成年人的尿样进行了分析,发现平均每天食盐量为8.07克,高于准则,但食盐减少后碘状况保持稳定。
Analyzing urine samples from adults in Delhi and Haryana, researchers found average salt consumption at 8.07 grams per day—far above guidelines—but iodine status remained stable when salt was reduced.
调查结果支持公共卫生努力降低盐摄入量,以防治影响超过3亿印度人的高血压和心脏病,同时避免缺碘风险。
The findings support public health efforts to lower salt intake to combat hypertension and heart disease, affecting over 300 million Indians, without risking iodine deficiency.
