The dataset provides an overview of salt intake indicators by groups in the Salt consumption study in Estonia. Data are presented as subgroup summaries describing differences in salt intake and its distribution. The dataset enables examining between-group differences and supports a more precise identification of risk groups. 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.
