Some principal activities of government that pertain to nutrition and blood pressure are education, information, dietary guidance, food regulatory practices, health and nutrition monitoring, biomedical research and training, and legislation. The food industry, in turn, influences the marketplace and food consumption by its response to government activities and policies. Dietary guidance recommendations call for moderation of dietary intake, improved nutrition, and greater availability in food choices in the marketplace that are consistent with dietary recommendations to reduce chronic disease risk. Health and nutrition monitoring allows measurement of the effectiveness of moderating dietary intake and controlling hypertension. Adequate support of education, nutrition and health monitoring, and biomedical research and training is necessary to control and prevent hypertension. Cooperation between government and industry can contribute to the decline in cardiovascular disease, which in 1987 cost this nation in excess of $135 billion.
政府在营养和血压方面的一些主要活动包括教育、信息传播、饮食指导、食品监管措施、健康与营养监测、生物医学研究与培训以及立法。反过来，食品行业通过对政府活动和政策的响应来影响市场和食品消费。饮食指导建议呼吁适度饮食摄入、改善营养，并在市场上提供更多符合饮食建议的食物选择，以降低慢性病风险。健康与营养监测能够衡量适度饮食摄入和控制高血压的效果。为了控制和预防高血压，对教育、营养与健康监测以及生物医学研究与培训提供充分支持是必要的。政府与行业之间的合作有助于降低心血管疾病的发病率，1987年，心血管疾病给这个国家造成的损失超过1350亿美元。
