高血压已经成为世界范围内的主要健康问题之一。许多研究已经证明，盐摄入量的增加与心血管疾病患病率的增加有关。最近，它与高盐摄入量的关系受到了很多关注。马来西亚的研究表明，随着时间的推移，高血压不断上升，同时盐的摄入量也很高。减少盐摄入量的行动对于减少高血压及其疾病负担至关重要。因此，我们开展了一项研究，以确定马来西亚人群对盐摄入量的知识、态度和行为与高血压之间的联系。从马来西亚社区盐调查(MyCoSS)获得的数据被部分用于这项研究。这项调查采用横断面两阶段抽样设计，选取了居住在非院舍生活区(LQ)的18岁及以上马来西亚成年人作为全国代表性样本。由训练有素的研究助理(RA)进行面对面的访谈，以获得有关社会人口学、医学报告以及受访者对盐摄入量和血压的知识、态度和行为的信息。大多数受访者被诊断患有高血压(61.4%)，并且知道高盐摄入对血压的影响(58.8%)。超过一半的受访者(53.3%)表示，他们经常控制盐的摄入量。那些知道高盐饮食可能导致严重健康问题的人(OR=0.23)以及那些控制盐摄入量(OR=0.44)的人患高血压的可能性显著降低。认识到钠对人类健康的影响，以及控制食盐摄入量的行为，对于降低马来西亚人的高血压患病率至关重要。
High blood pressure or hypertension has become one of the main health problems, worldwide. A number of studies have proven that an increased intake of salt was related to an increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Of late, its relationship with high salt intake has received a lot of attention. Studies in Malaysia have shown both rising hypertension over time as well as high salt consumption. Actions to reduce salt intake are essential to reduce hypertension and its disease burden. As such, we carried out a study to determine associations between knowledge, attitude and behaviour towards salt intake and hypertension among the Malaysian population. Data obtained from the Malaysian Community Salt Survey (MyCoSS) was used partially for this study. The survey used a cross-sectional two-stage sampling design to select a nationally representative sample of Malaysian adults aged 18 years and above living in non-institutional living quarters (LQ). Face-to-face interviews were done by trained research assistants (RA) to obtain information on sociodemography, medical report, as well as knowledge, attitude and behaviour of the respondents towards salt intake and blood pressure. Majority of the respondents have been diagnosed with hypertension (61.4%) as well as knowledge of the effects of high salt intake on blood pressure (58.8%). More than half of the respondents (53.3%) said they controlled their salt intake on a regular basis. Those who knew that a high salt diet could contribute to a serious health problem (OR=0.23) as well as those who controlled their salt intake (OR=0.44) were significantly less likely to have hypertension. Awareness of the effects of sodium on human health, as well as the behaviour of controlling salt intake, is essential towards lowering the prevalence of hypertension among Malaysians.
