다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This survey was conducted for 113 adults in Taegu area to investigate whether the habitual sodium intake can be easily measured by food frequency method. This study was also intended to determine the factors which influence on urinary sodium in adult.
The results of this study are summerized as follows
1. Preference of the saltness of food was negatively correlated with salty degree of public restaurant(P<0.001) and positively correlated with frequency of using salt or soy sauce(P<0.001).
2. Perception of salty degree of public restaurant showed significantly negative correlation with frequency of using table salt or soy sauce(P<0.001).
3. Multiple regression analysis of variables showed that sodium intake was affected by frequency of soup consumption, frequency of using extra salt or soy sauce, preference of the saltness of food, frequency of stew consumption.
4. Sodium intake by food frequency method significantly correlate with urinary sodium When sodium intake by food method was remolded to Na index, sodium intake was highly correlated with Na Index.
5. Aa Type Ⅴ of Na Index were highest correlated urinary sodium as well as sodium intake, it is considered the appropriate method to measure usal sodium intake.
