SALT IS OFTEN AMONG THE FEW VEHICLES THAT REACH POOR HOUSEHOLDS In many countries in the region, salty condiments, such as soy sauce and fish sauce, and pickled vegetables are consumed by all segments of the population. China: High consumption of salt and salty condiments reaches all population groups independent of socioeconomic status Du et al, Am J Clin Nutr. 2014; 99: 334– 343 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok EAP Regional Workshop on ACHIEVING UNIVERSAL SALT IODISATION FOR OPTIMAL IODINE NUTRITION 11

SALT INTAKE AND NONCOMMUNICABLE DISEASES Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) are a major contributor to mortality and morbidity globally Elevated sodium intake has been associated with a number of NCDs (including hypertension, cardiovascular disease and stroke), and decreasing sodium intake may reduce blood pressure and the risk of associated NCDs WHO recommends a reduction in sodium intake to reduce blood pressure and risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and coronary heart disease in adults. WHO recommends a reduction to <2 g/day sodium (5 g/day salt) in adults 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok WHO Guideline : Sodium intake for adults and children. 2012

COORDINATED PROGRAMS TO OPTIMIZE SALT AND IODINE INTAKE High sodium intake Iodine deficiency ↑blood pressure→ ↑ heart disease, stroke Related to 30% of hypertension Major cause of mortality worldwide Two billion people at risk Most common cause of preventable mental impairment Salt iodization highly effective prevention strategy Optimizing salt & iodine should be global priority WHO recognizes that salt reduction and salt iodization are compatible In fact, both agendas stand to gain from close coordination and cooperation Suggested actions Achieve consensus on importance of collaboration on optimizing salt and iodine intakes Devise tools and resources to aid in joint planning Compile reliable intake on salt intake and iodine deficiency, esp among vulnerable groups Develop harmonized message: Salt intake should be < 5 g/d, but all salt should be iodized 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok Campbell et al , Rev Panam Salud Publica 32(4), 2012

THE GLOBAL IODINE ARCHITECTURE HAS BEEN HARMONIZED WITH THE CREATION OF THE IODINE GLOBAL NETWORK (FORMERLY ICCIDD GLOBAL NETWORK) IGN plays a strong scientific and advisory role on iodine nutrition and the network of over 100 regional and national coordinators and partner agencies (GAIN, MI, and UNICEF) are at the core of its activities and global efforts to eliminate IDD. 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok

PROGRAM CHALLENGES A) COUNTRIES WITH SCALED UP PROGRAMS Optimal iodine nutrition status AND scaled up USI programmes Focus is on consolidation, programme adjustments and on sustaining achievements • How to ensure sustainability (sliding back, periodic oversight, commitment, mainstream iodine nutrition, functional coalition, adjust to changing national context) • Dealing with external threats (media, opponent groups, complacency among policy and programme staff, changes in enabling environment) 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 29
PROGRAMME CHALLENGES B) COUNTRIES IN SCALE UP PHASE USI being scaled up with/without optimal iodine status Programme focus on a) improve the % of poorly iodized salt, b) expand capacity to suppliers with no iodization (%) small producers; food industry • • • Capacity (small producers, QA issues, advocacy & communication along supply value chain) Commitment (poor enforcement, illegal non-iodized salt, imported salt, disincentives to iodize salt (e. g. taxation)) Hard to reach population - IS or alternative strategies (subsidized IS, other iodine interventions) 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 30
PROGRAMME CHALLENGES C) COUNTRIES WITHOUT POLICY/PLAN TO SCALE UP AND ACHIEVE USI/OPTIMAL IODINE NUTRITION USI not being scaled up; without optimal iodine status Commitment, awareness lacking among gatekeepers (private, public, civic); and/or inadequate capacity • Importance iodine nutrition/USI not recognized by policy makers or health advisers (no monitoring, issue not recognized) • Confusion about presence/form of USI in combination with/without other strategies • Alternative strategies promoted - compete with USI strategy, leading to reduced commitment for USI 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 31
PROGRAMME CHALLENGES D) FRAGILE STATES USI (not) achieved with/without optimal iodine status Fragile environment (political, shock due to disasters) erodes USI and sliding iodine status Strategies not in place/weakening; lack of attention, priority • How to ensure USI or alternative interventions are put in place short term • Targeting of population, prioritization of efforts, making optimum use of resources 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 32
OVERVIEW Background Salt iodization and iodine status Equity Salt iodization in wider nutrition programs Sodium intake and non-communicable chronic diseases Global architecture on salt iodization Programme challenges Conclusion 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 33
CONCLUSION • Salt iodization is one of the biggest public health success stories in the last two decades and remains highly relevant despite changes in programming landscape • However, a quarter of the world’s population remains at risk for low iodine intakes and the job is thus not yet done • IDD prevention efforts need to remain a cornerstone of global nutrition agenda The control of iodine deficiency in all countries worldwide by 2020 is within our reach! 12 -14 October 2015 Bangkok 34
