Time to define food salt targets in Italy starting with cereal-based products: A safe and practical way to reduce the heavy burden of cardiovascular disease.

Background And Aims: Excess salt intake is the leading dietary risk factor for cardiovascular disease in most countries, including Italy. While the cost-effectiveness of interventions aimed to reduce salt intake has been proved, the WHO recommendation to reduce salt intake by 30 % at the global level by 2025 is far from being reached.

Methods And Results: In Italy, two surveys of the general adult population have established that the average salt intake is still almost twice the WHO recommendation although it was reduced by 1.

The hesitancy in the nutritional prevention.

Our letter discusses the concept of 'Nutritional Prevention Hesitancy', comparing it to the well-studied phenomenon of 'Vaccine Hesitancy'. Both hesitancies can be fueled by 'infodemics', the rapid spread of accurate and inaccurate information that can lead to public confusion and mistrust in authoritative sources. Drawing parallels between the two, the text highlights that nutritional prevention hesitancy can result in individuals not adopting evidence-based nutritional strategies, potentially leading to poorer health outcomes.

[Project of contrast to avoidable mortality in a metropolitan local health authority].

Introduction: The avoidable mortality (ME)represents the share of deaths that occurs at an early age (0-74 aa) for causes that cannot be faced by means of public health or health care measures.
