Summary
Abstract: Twenty-eight papers of a 1979 conference discussexisting knowledge of factors that alter human appetite forsalt intake (currently, average intake is estimated at 8-10grams per day). Observations from comparative physiologicalstudies (including man) are summarized. The physiologicaland pathological significance attached to salt intake levelsin health and disease, and the consequent need to modifytoward higher or lower salt intakes are stressed. Aspects ofthe physiological and pathological implications of saltintake are examined. Sweeping generalizations recommendingthat all persons should drastically curtail salt intake arenot based upon sound physiological evidence. Saltintake-related topics fous on 5 themes: social,developmental, and anthropological aspects; comparative andpsychophysical aspects; neurological aspects; physiologicaland pathological aspects; and factors affecting saltpreference.
