Table 2 Details of assumptions for each salt substitute strategy to calculate impact on average dietary salt intake, Vietnam
Parameter | Voluntary | Subsidised | Regulatory | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Average daily salt intake (A) | 9.4 g/day | 9.4 g/day | 9.4 g/day | [23] |
Proportion of salt from target products (B) | 70% | 70% | 70% | [24] |
Sodium reduction in target products due to reformulation | 60% | 60% | 60% | [30] |
Proportion of target products reformulated with potassium chloride (C) | 30% | 50% | 100% | Assumptions |
Proportion of people choosing reformulated target products (D) | 5% | 44% | 100% | [31] |
Dietary salt reduction due to reformulation (E) | 0.058 g/day | 0.865 g/day | 3.95 g/day | A x B X C X D Gillespie 2015 [29] |
Full effect of strategy on average daily salt intake | 9.34 g/day | 8.53 g/day | 5.45 g/day | A - E |
