This study was designed to find out the status of low sodium diet in 27 hospitals located in Seoul and rural areas. The study was conducted from the beginning of June, 1976 to October, 1976. The differences in Na, protein and calorie contents between the hospitals in Seoul an ones in rural areas, and between the medical college attached hospitals and general ones, were compared by means of t-test. Correlation coefficient were made among Na, protein and calorie. In order to find out which food group is the major source of Na in the diet, six food groups were divided and Na content in each was calculated. The results showed that average daily Na intake of 27 hospitals was 2,382mg which is regarded as mild restriction. Average daily protein and calorie intakes were 94gm and 2,438 cal respectively. About 60% of hospitals restricted sodium at mild level $(2,300mg{sim}4,600mg)$ and 33% at moderate $(1,000mg{sim}2,300mg)$ and only 7% of the subjects were Planning strict sodium restriction $(250mg{sim}500mg)$ There was statistically significant differences in Na contents between Seoul and rural areas. But no significant difference was found between medical college attached hospitals and general ones. The correlation between the average daily intakes of Na and protein was found not to be significant but protein and calorie intakes were related each other. When the total sodium intakes divided into six groups, about 74% were supplied by condiments (Food group 6th).
