Swiss Salt Study 2: Second survey on salt consumption in Switzerland
05.12.2024
Elevated dietary salt intake is responsible for a substantial proportion of disease burden worldwide. High sodium intake has been associated with higher arterial blood pressure, a greater risk of cardiovascular disease - especially stroke or the development of chronic kidney disease. High dietary potassium intake, on the other hand, is related to a lower blood pressure and reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.
In Switzerland, the dietary salt intake in the population has been shown to exceed the WHO recommended maximum of 5 grams per day. Considering that the first nationwide Swiss Survey on Salt Intake (SSS1) was conducted a decade ago, the Swiss Federal Food Safety and Veterinary Office (FSVO) commissioned in 2021 the second National Survey on Salt Consumption in the Swiss general adult population, namely the Swiss Salt Study 2 (SSS2).
