title: World Salt Awareness Week: more action needed in New Zealand.
abstract: World Salt Awareness Week ran from 21 to 27 March 2011. Increasing attention to the detrimental health effects of a high dietary salt intake has led to substantial public health campaigns in the United Kingdom, New York, Finland, Japan, and Canada. Indeed, recent modelling indicates that salt reduction is likely to be one of the most cost-effective population public health interventions for chronic disease reduction available.
