Abstract

Abstract

Objective: Reducing salt intake is a priority action for addressing the worldwide crisis of non-communicable diseases, and its various public approaches should be developed.
Educational background music (BGM) on reducing salt intake may nudge consumers at a canteen in choosing healthier meals or discretionary seasonings.
Design: The study design is a small-scale community trial that compared the control and the intervention periods.

Subjects: Subjects were unspecified consumers at a university canteen

Interventions: We displayed visual materials at a university canteen for 5 weeks (control period) and then broadcasted BGM for another 5 weeks (intervention period).

Measures of outcome: The consumption amount of discretionary seasonings and of soup in noodles and the consumption number of soup bowls and of noodles among the consumers, and the changes in the four above mentioned indices during both periods were compared by Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: Reductions in the consumption number of soup bowls and noodles were higher in the intervention period than those in the control period with statistical significance (median values: -7.5 and 5.4 per 100 rice consumers, p = 0.01; ratios to rice consumers, -0.02 and 0.10, p = 0.02, respectively).

Conclusion: Using a dietary education song on salt intake as BGM may be effective in influencing individuals toward healthier menu choices rather than seasoning behavior at a university's canteen.
