This paper is a Position Statement from an 'ad hoc' Scientific Review Subcommittee of the PAHO/WHO Regional Expert Group on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention through Dietary Salt Reduction. It is produced in response to requests from representatives of countries of the Pan-American Region of WHO needing clarification on two recent publications casting doubts on the appropriateness of population wide policies to reduce salt intake for the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The paper provides a brief background, a critical appraisal of the recent reports and explanations as why the implications have been mis-interpreted. The paper concludes that the benefits of salt reduction are clear and consistent, and reinforces the recommendations outlined by PAHO/WHO and other organizations worldwide for a population reduction in salt intake to prevent strokes, heart attacks and other cardiovascular events.
这是一份来自泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织通过减少食盐摄入预防心血管疾病区域专家小组的一个特别科学审查小组的立场文件。该文件是应世界卫生组织泛美区域各国代表的要求编写的，他们需要澄清最近的两份出版物，这两份出版物对广泛采用减少盐摄入量预防心血管疾病的政策提出了质疑。本文提供了简要的背景资料，对最近的报告进行了批判性评估，并解释了为什么这些报告的结论被误解。本文的结论是，减少盐摄入量的好处是明确且一致的，并重申了泛美卫生组织/世界卫生组织和世界其他组织提出的减少盐摄入量以预防中风、心脏病发作和其他心血管事件的建议。
