Abstract

Povećani unos soli i incidencija kardiovaskularnih bolesti su značajno povezani. Cilj rada je bio istražiti razinu svjesnosti o štetnosti unosa soli u ruralnoj populaciji kako bi se mogle odrediti potrebne mjere za podizanje svjesnosti. Podaci su dobiveni anketiranjem. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 928 ispitanika (586 žena i 342 muškarca). Rezultati su pokazali nisku razinu svjesnosti (oko 60%), te da žene imaju više saznanja koliko je sol štetna i koji su njeni izvori. Također ispitanici nisu znali putem kojih namirnice najviše unose sol u organizam. Uz takve rezultate potrebno je povecati broj nacionalnih projekata, razviti specificne načine podizanja svjesnosti koji su sukladni stilu života u ruralnoj populaciji te uključiti veći broj nutricionista/dijetetičara u djelovanje zdravstvene zaštite.

Abstract (english)

High salt intake and cardiovascular disease incidence are significantly correlated. The aim of this study was to investigate knowledge, attitude and practice regarding salt intake in rural population in continental Croatia. Data were obtained by standardized questionnaire. Sample consisted of 928 participants (586 women and 342 men). Results have shown low level of awareness (~60%); women knew more about harmful effects of salt and could identify some food with higher concentration of salt. Participants were not aware through which food is the highest salt intake. The results indicate need for higher number of national projects and public health campaigns that would raise the awareness of salt intake, need for health education that would be specific for rural population and adapted to their lifestyle. Also nutritionists should be more integrated in health care services.
