Figure 1. Average daily salt intake in Japanese adults (males and females combined).

Figure 1

Data taken from Kawano and colleagues for 2004 [82] and from the Japan Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare for 2009 and 2014 [83]. Average daily salt intake (~10 grams/day) changed very little between 2004 and 2014 and has remained well above the maximum level of 6 grams/day recommended by the Japanese Society of Hypertension [8, 10, 12].
