BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: South Korean’s sodium consumption level is more than twice the upper limit level suggested bythe WHO. Steep increases in the prevalence of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in Korea necessitate more effectivesodium reduction programs. This study was conducted in order to compare sodium intake-related eating behaviors and keypsychosocial factors according to age group and gender. SUBJECTS/METHODS: Using an online survey, a total of 1,564 adults (20-59 years old) considered to be geographically representativeof South Korea were recruited and surveyed. The major outcomes were perceived behaviors, knowledge, intentions, and self-efficacyrelated to sodium intake. RESULTS: The results show that perceived behavior and level of self-efficacy related to low sodium consumption differed byage and gender. Female participants showed better behavior and intention towards low sodium intake than male counterparts. Young participants in their 20s showed the lowest intention to change their current sodium intake as well as lowest self-efficacymeasures. CONCLUSIONS: Future sodium reduction interventions should be developed with tailored messages targeting different ageand gender groups. Specifically, interventions can be planned and implemented at the college level or for workers in theirearly career to increase their intention and self-efficacy as a means of preventing future health complications associated withhigh sodium intake.
