This study compares salt-related dietary patterns according to sodium intake. A survey was conducted with 257 college students(130 male and 127 female students) in the Busan area. Dish Frequency Questionnaire 70(DFQ 70) was used to quantitatively estimate sodium intake. A short dish frequency questionnaire(DFQ 15) was used to screen subjects with high or low- salt intake. The sodium intake of male students based on DFQ 70 was significantly higher than that of female students(p0.05). Sodium intake has significant negative effects on systolic and diastolic blood pressure(p0.05). In the high-salt intake(HS) group , classified by DFQ 15, the number of male students was significantly higher than that of female students(p0.01). The systolic blood pressure of the HS group was significantly higher than that of the low-salt intake(LS) group(p0.05). Salt-related dietary behavior score and eating habit score for the HS group were significantly higher than those for the LS group(p0.01). The sodium intake of the HS group based on DFQ 70 was significantly higher than that of the LS group(p0.01). In these results, college students in Busan area showed high blood pressure and high sodium intake compared to Korean DRIs. The results indicate a need for various education programs to help college students practice a low-sodium diet.
