Evidence on the association between salt intake and gastric cancer is sparse, especially in prospective studies. We conducted a population-based prospective study in Japan, where the majority of men has been infected with Helicobacter pylori. A total of 18 684 men and 20 381 women aged 40-59 years who reported their dietary habits and did not report any serious disease at baseline were followed from 1990 to 2001. A total of 486 cases, 358 men and 128 women, with histologically confirmed gastric cancer were documented among them. The quintile category of salt intake was dose-dependently associated with gastric cancer risk in men after adjusting for potential confounding factors (P for trend &lt;0.001), while a trend was not clear in women (P for trend=0.48). Although stratification by study area, with varied salt intake and gastric cancer incidence, attenuated the observed clear associations with salt and salted foods, the frequency categories of highly salted foods such as salted fish roe and salted fish preserves were strongly associated with the risk in both sexes. Restriction of salt and salted food intake is a practical strategy to prevent gastric cancer in areas with high risk.
