Abstract
To prevent hypertension, which is closely related to lifestyle, especially eating habits, it is necessary to reduce salt intake. Therefore, in this study, we performed a saltiness cognition threshold test for participants at the university festival and obtained the saltiness cognition threshold results for the general public. 94 % of participants could perceive salty taste when the salty taste concentration was 1.0 % or less. On the other hand, two participants could not perceive saltiness even at a salty concentration of 1.6%, a 67-year-old female, and an 82-year-old female. We would like to continue the saltiness cognition threshold test and collect the data of participants to clarify the saltiness cognition threshold for general people.

Introduction c) Ethical review boardAccording to the Japanese dietary intake standard2020, it hoped that the daily salt intake should be 6.5g for females and 7.0g males
This study reports the result of the saltiness cognitive threshold test for people who participated in the university festival
Since this result can grasp the saltiness perception threshold of the general public, it will be a useful date for future salt reduction education
Summary
According to the Japanese dietary intake standard2020, it hoped that the daily salt intake should be 6.5g for females and 7.0g males. After five years, it expected that the desired intake of salt will.
