dc.description.abstractCardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent the leading cause of death in Costa Rica, and high blood pressure was associated with a mortality rate of 29% (2018). The Preventable Risk Integrated ModEl (PRIME) was used to estimate the number of deaths that would be averted or delayed in the Costa Rican population by following the national and international guidelines to reduce salt consumption. Two scenarios drawn in this study predict the highest percentages of deaths prevented or postponed, by type of CVD: Coronary heart disease (39% and 38%), Hypertensive disease (32% and 33%) and Stroke (22% in both).en
