Effect of sodium-reduced potassium-enriched salt substitutes on stomach cancer: the Salt Substitute and Stroke Study (SSaSS).

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is an association between increased dietary sodium intake and the risk of stomach cancer. Lowering dietary sodium intake with sodium-reduced potassium-enriched salt substitutes may reduce this risk. To evaluate the effects of sodium-reduced potassium-enriched salt substitutes on the risk of stomach cancer and other types of cancer.

Methods

The primary analyses of the Salt Substitute and Stroke Study (SSaSS) defined the effects of sodium-reduced potassium-enriched salt substitutes compared to regular salt on the risk of stroke. This post-hoc investigation explored effects on stomach and other cancers. SSaSS was an open-label, cluster randomised controlled trial done in 600 Chinese villages among 20,996 participants. Villages were assigned at random in a 1:1 r
