摘要

攝取過多食鹽已確定會導致高血壓及血管疾病。降低族群鹽量攝取的政策已被證實可以促進健康，因此國內外團體都建議應顯著減少族群鹽量攝取。鹽與健康的世界行動澳洲分會（AWASH）參與澳洲“鹽減量＂運動。此運動為透過三個主要目標執行對策，即食品工業、媒體及政府，俾使5年內澳洲人平均食鹽攝取量降低至每天6公克。這個對策有能力達成快速及顯著降低澳洲的食鹽攝取量。有工業界與政府的參與，使得這個運動對於降低慢性疾病具有高效益及低成本。

Excess dietary salt is a well established cause of high blood pressure and vascular disease. National and international bodies recommend a significant reduction in population salt intakes on the basis of strong evidence for health gains that population salt reduction strategies could achieve. The Australian Division of World Action on Salt and Health (AWASH) coordinates the Drop the Salt! campaign in Australia. This aims to reduce the average amount of salt consumed by Australians to six grams per day over five years through three main implementation strategies targeting the food industry, the media and government. This strategy has the potential to achieve a rapid and significant reduction in dietary salt consumption in Australia. With industry and government engagement, this promises to be a highly effective, low cost option for preventing chronic disease.
