Strategies to Reduce Sodium Intake in the United States
FIGURE 2-13 Trends in mean sodium intake from food for three gender/age groups, 1971–1974 to 2003–2006.

FIGURE 2-13 Trends in mean sodium intake from food for three gender/age groups, 1971–1974 to 2003–2006.

NOTES: Analyzed using 1-day mean intake data for NHANES 2003–2006 to be consistent with earlier analyses and age-adjusted to the 2000 Census; includes salt used in cooking and food preparation, but not salt added at the table. d = day; mg = milligram.

SOURCES: Briefel and Johnson (2004) for 1971–2000 data; NHANES for 2003–2006 data (see Chapter 5).

FIGURE 2-14 Trends in mean sodium intake densities from food for three gender/age groups, 1971–1974 to 2003–2006.
