Temporal trends of ischemic stroke attributable to diet high in sodium in China from the global burden of disease study 2021

This study found that ischemic stroke attributable to a diet high in sodium in China fluctuated from 1990 to 2021, with a declining trend observed in recent years. Projections indicate that this downward trend will continue. Age and birth period are key factors influencing the disease burden, with older adults and men being particularly affected. Future policy efforts should focus on enhancing health management in high-risk populations to further reduce the burden of ischemic stroke linked to high sodium intake.
