Funded Activity Summary

Eating too much salt is estimated to cause nearly 1 of every 5 heart disease deaths before the age of 70. Almost all people eat too much salt causing high blood pressure. Although health leaders recommend all countries to reduce salt eaten to prevent deaths, there is uncertainty about which initiatives are more effective in getting people to eat less salt. This study will address this by assessing how effective the initiatives in Fiji, Samoa & Victoria are in reducing salt eaten and salt in food
