A cross - sectional study on 400 people in Dong Khe ward, Hai Phong from June to November 2022 aimed to describe the factors related to knowledge, attitudes, and practices about using salt. The results showed that the factors related to good knowledge were people < 20 years old, 20 - 29 years old, 30 - 39 years old, 50 - 59 years old had higher good knowledge than people ≥ 60 years old (p < 0,05); education level above high school (OR = 2.25; 95%CI: 1.35 - 3.76). People in the group of 20 - 29 years old had 2.52 times higher good attitudes than people in group ≥ 60 years old (p < 0.01); education level above high school (OR = 2.0; 95%CI: 1.34 - 2.98); people with good knowledge (OR = 2.39; 95%CI: 1.40 - 4.07). Factors related to good practice were people < 20 years old, 30 - 39 years old, 40 - 49 years old, 50 - 59 years old had higher good practice than people ≥ 60 years old (p < 0.01); education level above high school (OR = 4.01; 95%CI: 2.56 - 6.29); people with good knowledge (OR = 4.46; 95%CI: 2.66 - 7.49) and people with good attitude (OR = 5.64; 95%CI: 3.46 - 9.18).
