Funded Activity Summary

While the scientific evidence base providing the rationale for salt reduction in controlling hypertension is very strong, the data required to translate those scientific insights into policy and reduced population salt intake are mostly absent. Few countries, India included, have the data required to develop, implement and evaluate salt reduction programs tailored to their national circumstances. The overall goal of this 3-year project is to develop the evidence base required to formulate a national salt reduction program for India.
