Analysis v1
Even a small salt reduction of 1 gram per day over 10 years would save money on healthcare costs.
Scientific Claim
A 1 g/day reduction in dietary salt achieved gradually over a decade is projected to be cost-saving in healthcare costs.
Original Statement
“Such an intervention would be cost-saving even if only a modest reduction of 1 g per day were achieved gradually between 2010 and 2019”

Appropriate Language Strength
probability
Can suggest probability/likelihood
Assessment Explanation
The study is a computational model that explicitly projects these numbers, so using 'projected' is appropriate. The claim accurately reflects the model's output without implying causation.
