Pearson’s correlation coefficients among dietary salt-related determinants including knowledge, attitudes, food consumption, food sources, and habits.

Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient	Dietary Salt-Related Determinants
	Knowledge a	Attitudes b	Food Consumption c	Food Sources d
Knowledge
Attitudes	0.144 **
Food consumption	−0.050	−0.050
Food sources	−0.044	−0.029	0.267 **

^a Dietary-salt-related knowledge: the higher scores reflect the higher knowledge. ^b Dietary-salt-related attitude: the higher scores reflect the positive attitudes toward dietary salt reduction. ^c High dietary-salt food consumption: the higher frequency reflects more days per week consuming high dietary-salt food. ^d High dietary-salt food source: the higher frequency reflects more days per week consuming food from high dietary-salt food sources. ^e Dietary-salt-related habits: the higher scores reflect healthier habits toward lower dietary salt intake. * statistically significant for p ≤ 0.05; ** statistically significant for p ≤ 0.01.
