PS017 Estimation of Salt Intake by 24-Hour Urinary Sodium Excretion: Findings from the Cardiovascular Outcomes in a Papuan Population and Estimation of Risk (Copper) Study

Reducing population level salt intake has been recognized as a priority intervention to tackle the growing burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Measurement of sodium intake using 24 hour urine collection is the gold standard for estimating population salt intake and a crucial component of any salt reduction programme. Currently there is insufficient evidence for salt intakes in South-East Asia, a region which faces an epidemic of chronic NCDs – responsible for over 60% of deaths.
