The dataset provides an overview of data collection and data quality indicators in the Salt consumption study in Estonia. Data are presented as summary indicators related to collection and processing that help assess the reliability of results. The dataset enables examining quality indicators by groups and taking them into account when interpreting salt intake estimates. The purpose of collecting salt consumption data is to ensure a systematic overview of salt intake and related indicators in Estonia, so that time trends and risk groups can be monitored and the planning and evaluation of public health interventions, prevention activities and policy measures can be supported.
