To reduce sodium intake, there are need to know the pattern of sodium intake. The amount and proportion of sodium intake from meal, place, and foodservice are analyzes. Using KNHNS data from 2007 and 2008, dietary intake data from adult (male: 2407, female: 3814) were analyzes using SAS 9.1. The amount of sodium intake and proportion of contribution were analyzes by kind of the meal (breakfast, lunch, supper, and snack), eating place (home, school, work place, restaurant, bower for aged, etc.) and home cooking or foodservice (commercial or on‐site). For total sodium intake, 22.7% from breakfast, 37.2% from lunch, 30.4% from supper, and 9.7% from snack. For eating place, sodium intake at home was 68.6%, at restaurant was 14.3%, and at work place was 12.1%. From home cooking, commercial foodservice, and onsite foodservice, 63.6%, 12.1%, and 20.6% of sodium itake were contributed, respectively. The mean amount of sodium from lunch was 1901mg(5831meals). It was highest among meals. For eating place, restaurant showed highest mean for sodium intake (2278mg, 2921meals). Onsite food service had highest mean for sodium intake (2236mg, 830meals) Therefore, proportion of contribution to total sodium intake was highest from lunch, at home and from home cooking. But the amount of sodium per meal provided was highest from lunch, at restaurant, and onsite foodservice.
