Adequate dietary intake of potassium (K) helps fight noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), mainly hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
This paper (i) estimated the K intake of Ghanaian population using food supply and food composition data and (ii) compared this estimate with the WHO recommended requirement for K in order to assess if there is a risk of inadequate K intake.
Food supply data (1961–2011) was obtained from the FAO Food Balance Sheet (FBS) to derive trends in food and K supply.
The average food supply in the FBS for 2010 and 2011 was used in assessing the risk of inadequate dietary intake of K.
The K contents of the food items were obtained from food composition databases.
The mean K supply per capita per day was approximately 856 mg.
The assessment suggests a potentially large risk of inadequate dietary K supply at both individual and population levels.
The results suggest the need for assessing options for managing K deficiency, including assessment of K supplying power of soils and K fertilizer management in food crop production systems, as well as empirical estimates of K content of food items (including those underreported in the FBS) and mixed diets in Ghana.
