There is an established relationship between a high salt diet and public health problems, especially hypertension and cardiovascular disease. We estimated daily salt intake in a group of adults and assessed its association with related variables in Pohang, Korea. We conducted a cross-sectional survey in 2013 with 242 adults. Urine was collected for 24 hr to estimate daily salt intake, and questionnaires about salt preference were administered. The mean daily salt intake was 9.9±4.6 g. There was no difference in salt intake between high systolic blood pressure (SBP) participants and normal SBP participants (10.5±4.7 g/d vs. 9.6±4.3 g/d, P=0.339), but high diastolic blood pressure (DBP) participants reported more salt intake than normal DBP participants (10.4±4.9 g/d vs. 9.7±4.1 g/d, P=0.049). Salt intake and body mass index demonstrated a positive correlation (P=0.001). A preference for Korean soup or stew was associated with high salt intake (P=0.038). Dietary salt intake in Korean adults is still higher than the recommendation from the World Health Organization. More efforts should be made to reduce the salt consumption of Korean adults.
高盐饮食与公共卫生问题之间存在既定的关联，尤其是高血压和心血管疾病。我们估算了一组成年人的每日盐摄入量，并评估了其与韩国浦项相关变量之间的关联。2013年，我们对242名成年人进行了横断面调查。收集24小时尿液以估算每日盐摄入量，并发放了关于盐偏好的问卷。每日平均盐摄入量为9.9±4.6克。收缩压（SBP）高的参与者与正常SBP参与者之间的盐摄入量没有差异（10.5±4.7克/天对9.6±4.3克/天，P = 0.339），但舒张压（DBP）高的参与者报告的盐摄入量高于正常DBP参与者（10.4±4.9克/天对9.7±4.1克/天，P = 0.049）。盐摄入量与体重指数呈正相关（P = 0.001）。对韩国汤或炖菜的偏好与高盐摄入量相关（P = 0.038）。韩国成年人的膳食盐摄入量仍高于世界卫生组织的建议。应做出更多努力以减少韩国成年人的盐消费量。
