Impact of high sodium intake on stomach cancer burden in China: A comprehensive analysis from 1990 to 2021
Despite declining age-standardized rates, the absolute burden of stomach cancer linked to high sodium remains substantial in China. Males and older adults are disproportionately affected. Population aging and growth are key contributors, while public health interventions have mitigated the burden to some extent. Sustained, gender-sensitive strategies focused on sodium reduction are essential to further lower disease impact.
