Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to conduct a comparative analysis across nations to: (1) identify the determinants influencing knowledge and attitudes related to sodium (Na) intake and (2) to analyse the association between knowledge and attitudes related to Na intake.
Design: We utilised a secondary data from a cross-sectional study that was conducted across seven nations. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilised to assess the impact of socio-economic and health-related predictors on knowledge and attitudes pertaining to Na intake and further to investigate the relationship between knowledge and attitude.
Setting: Indonesia, Brazil, Thailand, Japan, France, the UK and the USA.
Participants: 7090 participants aged 15 years and above were included in the study.
Results: SEM analysis showed a strong association between knowledge about Na intake and related attitude across all countries, particularly in the UK (2·65, 95 % CI 1·48-3·82), France (2·62, 1·45-3·79) and the USA (1·97, 1·21-2·73). In Brazil, Japan and France, individuals or family members having certain health conditions such as raised blood pressure, heart diseases, strokes or other diseases exhibited a positive attitude towards reducing Na intake. Conversely, socio-economic factors like education and income demonstrated the complexity of influences on knowledge and attitudes about Na intake.
Conclusion: The study underscores the need for tailored public health interventions to reduce excessive Na consumption, considering the diverse cultural, social and economic factors. It highlights the complex determinants of knowledge and attitudes towards Na intake, calling for further research in varied populations.
研究目的本研究旨在对各国进行比较分析，以：（1）确定影响钠（Na）摄入量相关知识和态度的决定因素；（2）分析钠摄入量相关知识和态度之间的关联：设计：我们利用了一项横断面研究的二手数据，该研究在七个国家进行。结构方程模型（SEM）用于评估社会经济和健康相关预测因素对有关钠摄入量的知识和态度的影响，并进一步研究知识和态度之间的关系：研究地点：印度尼西亚、巴西、泰国、日本、法国、英国和美国：研究对象：7090 名 15 岁及以上的参与者：SEM 分析表明，在所有国家，有关 Na 摄入量的知识与相关态度之间存在密切联系，尤其是在英国（2-65，95 % CI 1-48-3-82）、法国（2-62，1-45-3-79）和美国（1-97，1-21-2-73）。在巴西、日本和法国，有某些健康状况（如血压升高、心脏病、中风或其他疾病）的个人或家庭成员对减少 Na 摄入量持积极态度。相反，教育和收入等社会经济因素则显示了对钠摄入量的知识和态度的复杂影响：这项研究强调，考虑到不同的文化、社会和经济因素，有必要采取有针对性的公共卫生干预措施，以减少钠的过量摄入。研究强调了决定人们对钠摄入量的认识和态度的复杂因素，呼吁在不同人群中开展进一步研究。
