Introduction: arterial hypertension is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in our country, excessive salt consumption could be a major factor in this situation, knowing what our population thinks about it and the attitude and predisposition to change it, would provide relevant information to develop prevention strategies. Objectives: The objective was to understand the meaning, value and scope that the subjects attribute to the consumption of salt/sodium in the diet. Materials and methods: it was framed in a qualitative Project, which made it possible to inquire about people’s knowledge and attitudes about the consumption of dietary salt/sodium, the acquisition of the products to consume and conditions to attempt a change in attitude and behavior. Results: they were grouped according to the categories and descriptors defined according to the research problem. Conclusion: this research has led us to better understand the thinking and attitude towards salt consumption of a very important population group, that are the woman, in whom falls the task of buying and cooking for the family. Through the information obtained, a range of possibilities is created to try a positive change and reinforce what is already underway.
