Prevalence of food literacy and its association with high-sodium diet consumption in Thais: findings from a national cross-sectional survey, 2022–23
Thailand has among the highest sodium intake levels in Southeast Asia. Food literacy (FL) is a key individual attribute driving healthier eating. Using a 2023 national survey of an estimated 10 752 Thai adults with ages between 15 and 69 years, this study investigated the prevalence of sodium consumption behaviours and FL, alongside their associations. Sodium intake was assessed using the frequencies of self-reported eating instant food, packaged snack and adding high-sodium discretionary condiments to prepared meals. FL was measured using 62 statements across four constructs—knowledge, attitude, skills, and behaviour—with attitude comprising five sub-constructs and behaviour comprising two, identified through factor analysis. Associations between FL and high-sodium food intake were analysed using logistic regression analysis. The participants had a slight female majority (53.99%), with 44.06% aged between 45 and 59 years and 61.50% residing in rural areas. Adding high-sodium discretionary condiments had the highest prevalence (31.95%) compared with the other two food categories. Seeking food information when uncertain showed the lowest proportion of high FL (24.43%). Associations between FL and high-sodium food consumption were mixed: attitude towards intention to eat healthy food, were associated with lower odds of consumption, while attitude towards the benefits of healthy eating and behaviour related to food label use and information-seeking, were associated with higher odds. Strengthening the specific FL dimensions shown to be protective represents a potential avenue for reducing sodium intake. Future FL interventions must scrutinize high-sodium discretionary condiments use in prepared meals, a practice that remains a deeply rooted cultural habit globally.
