Many people are motivated to eat healthily but find it difficult to override established and less healthy habits Habits by theirnature are unconscious and cued by the environment thus making them powerful determinants of behavior This study examinedhow hedonic hunger and health interest are related to habit and whether sodium consumption is mediated by hedonic hungerhealth interest and habit A total of 117 students of Universitas Brawijaya took part in the study Data analysis were done usingPartial Least Square (PLS) and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (SQ-FFQ) PLS was used to analyze the influenceof the relationship between independent and dependent variables SQ-FFQ was used to determine sodium intake in gramsdayThe average sodium intake in this study was 247 gramsday This analysis shows that hedonic hunger and health interest had asignificant impact on health habits but not on sodium intake
1 Introduction
Consumers often mention that health considerations are oneof themotivations for choosing particular foods [1] Adequatenutrition intake is an important aspect of leading a healthy life[2] The importance of health is important to some peoplewhen choosing which food to consume [3] Misguided dietor inappropriate food selection can be factors in developingvarious diseases such as high blood pressure (hypertension)Research shows that people who are very motivated to meettheir health goals form healthy eating habits and do not haveto struggle against unwanted desires [4]
Based on [5] every year 94 million people risk deathfrom heart disease and stroke because of high blood pressureIf these two diseases are combined they are the numberone cause of death in the world Hypertension also increasesthe risk of kidney failure blindness and other diseases andoften coincides with other health risk factors such as obe-sity diabetes high cholesterol Interestingly WHO reportedthat high-income countries had lower rates of hypertensioncompared to low to middle-income countries Based on
Indonesianrsquos Ministry of Health data in 2013 258 of itspopulation suffered from hypertension In Indonesia therehas been a shift in eating patterns to the consumption of fastfood and preserved foods This type of consumption patternhas developed very quickly especially in major cities It isknown that fast food and preserved food contain high saltsaturated fats also low in fat that can cause hypertension
One of the high risk factors in developing hypertensionis increased salt intake [6] Salt is a source of sodium [7]Sodium is not only found in table salt but also foundnaturally in most foods including milk cream eggs meatand clams High quantities of sodium are also found inprocessed foods such as bread crackers processed meatssuch as bacon sausages and ham snacks such as pop-corn and spices such as soy sauce fish sauce and broth[8] According to [9] people are often unaware of theamount of salt they consume Uncontrolled sodium intakeis caused by casual dietary consumption patterns such ashabit hedonic hunger and health interest Decreasing sodiumintake is proven to significantly reduce blood pressure inadults

Habit can be defined as a psychological tendency to repeatpast behavior [10] Habits are certain behaviors that a persondoes repeatedly in a fixed situation to pursue his or her goals[11] Although habit formation allows individuals to performhis or her daily routines in a very efficient way habits alsohave negative consequences Several studies have shown thatpeople find it difficult to eliminate unwanted habits one ofthem is the habit of eating everyday foods [12ndash14] Habitplays an important role in maintaining the appropriate levelof nutrition in individuals of all ages [15]
The habit of consuming salty food results in high level ofsodium in the body That habit can be minimized by dietingto control the daily food intake Diet is considered as one ofthe most important determinants in controlling heart diseaseand risk factors as associated with hypertension and obesityEvidence-based data shows that an effective diet regime isimportant in the relationship between health and illness [16]The habit of choosing healthy foods also protects individualsagainst the desire to eat large amounts of food or unhealthyfoods [4]
Hedonic hunger is defined as the driver for people toconsume food when they are not really hungry for exampleconsuming a dessert due to its pleasurable experience [17]The hedonic driver from todayrsquos environment provides a wideselection of very cheap tasty food [18] As a result hedonichunger can be a stimulus for food consumption contradictingto a persons desire for a healthy diet [19] Hedonist behavioralso causes the consumer to make too many dietary mistakeswhen choosing food because of their inability to control theirfood intake [20]
Unhealthy eating behavior is also determined by thehealth interest of the consumer Diet has been shown tobe associated with various diseases such as obesity heartdisease cancer type 2 diabetes The main dietary concernsinclude over consumption of saturated and trans fats and lowconsumption of vegetables fruits and grains Todays food isvery varied in taste and price It is easy for consumers tochoose a healthy diet especially as there is growing evidencethat the easy availability of healthy foods has an impor-tant influence on food choice [21] However only health-conscious individuals are concerned about the importanceof a healthy diet and change the diet accordingly to benefitfrom healthy products [22] The choice of a healthy diet isassociated with the health risks that people face and it isstrongly affected by the health behaviors adopted [23]
Based on the explanations described above this studyaims to determine the relationship between hedonic hungerand health interest against habit In addition this study alsoaims to determine the relationship between hedonic hungerhealth interest and sodium intake patterns
2 Method
21 Population and Sample Thebase population of this studyconsisted of the students from the Universitas BrawijayaThedata used is from 2014 collected from 135 sample studentsout of the 55000 students at the Universitas Brawijaya Thesampling method employed Slovin formula which has an
error margin of 10 thus at least 100 participants wereneeded 135 students were selected to participate in thisresearch The sampling technique was done randomly so allmembers of the parent population had equal opportunity tobe in the sample [24]
22 Measurement The questionnaire was prepared specifi-cally for this study and adjusted tomeasure sodiumconsump-tion habit hedonic hunger and health interests The itemfor each question was a modification of previous researchand was adapted to the purpose of this study which wasto determine the salt consumption of the participants Thehedonic hunger questionnaire was adapted from The Powerof Food Scale (PFS) PFS is a self-made measurement inassessing the extent to which appetizing foods affect onesthoughts and feelings when they are not physically hungry[25] The hedonic hunger questionnaire consisted of 10questions on three levels of food proximity the desire toeat something but not physically present for consumptionfood present but not eaten and food tasted but not consumed[12 25] Health interest was determined by using 5 questionsbased onGHI (GeneralHealth Interest) adapted fromFenkorsquos2015 research which concerned the content of healthy foodsuch as protein nutrients and minerals Habit was measuredby using 7 questions that represented two habits of behaviorrepetitive and automatic with regard to consuming salty foodThe complete question set is given in Table 1
The daily consumption pattern of sodium was measuredby using SQ-FFQ (Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Ques-tionnaire) which is a commonmethod applied for estimationof dietary intake based on long term food intake in large epi-demiological studies [26 27] Measurement of sodium intakewas adapted from salt intake questionnaire of [28] and dietarysodium intake of [29] that had been tested and validated Atotal of 34 items were used to measure daily sodium intakeTo calculate the sodium intake participants estimated howmany times a particular had been food consumed in thelast 3 months Food consumption was measured into fourcategories never daily weekly and monthly In the dailycategory respondents were asked to state how many times afood was consumed in a day similarly for weekly and dailyconsumption
23 Data Analysis The data analysis method employed inthis research was descriptive and inferential Descriptiveanalysis was used to explain the general description thatoccurred to the respondents The software used for descrip-tive analysis was SPSS 180 and NutriSurvey 2007 SPSSwas used to analyse the general descriptions given by therespondents NutriSurvey 2007 was used to determine thenutritional content of a food and determine sodium intake inthis study Inferential analysis was used to perform the con-ceptual test stated in the research hypothesis In accordancewith the hypothesis that had been formulated the methodused in this study was Partial Least Square (PLS) whichis an alternative approach that shifts the covariance-basedStructural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach to variance-based one SEMgenerally tests the causality while PLS ismorepredictive

3 Results
31 Description of Respondentsrsquo Characteristics There were135 questionnaires distributed in this study However only 117questionnaires were considered valid The results of sodiumconsumption based on respondentsrsquo characteristics can beseen in Table 2 Table 2 shows the mean and standarddeviation of sodium consumption (gramday)
Based on Table 2 it can be seen that the average sodiumconsumed by men was 249 gramday while the averagesodium consumed by womenwas 246 gramdayThe averagesodium consumption consumed by respondents aged 16-20 year old was 2761 gramday while the average sodiumconsumed by respondents aged 21-25 year old was 237Based on the results of this study the consumption ofsodium of respondents at the age of 16-20 year old wasgreater than the respondents aged 21-25 year old Sodiumconsumption for respondents whose monthly expenses wereless than 1 million was 252 gramday As for the respondentswho spent 1-5 million the sodium consumption was 240
gramday The respondents in this study only consisted oftwo BMI categories underweight and normal weight Thesodium intake for normal weight was 255 gramday whilefor the underweight category was 224 gramday This studyindicated that sodium consumption of normal weight peoplewas higher than underweight people It was contrary to thefindings of [30] who showed that there was a significantrelationship between sodium increase and BMI increaseTheresults also revealed that the average sodium consumed perindividual was 248 gramday it was not in accordance withthe WHO recommendation which recommended a sodiumintake of less than 2 gramday or 5 gram of salt per day[31]

result of reflective measurement model evaluation can beseen in Table 3
Convergence validity test for reflective indicator usedloading value that was correlation value between item scoreand construct score The reflective indicator measurementindicated a change in an indicator in a construct if anotherindicator on the same construct changed (or was removedfrom themodel) In Table 3 it could be seen that the indicatorcontained in the table was a valid indicator representingthe construct that had a loading factor value gt 05 whileother indicators that did not exist in the table having a valueof loading factor lt05 had been removed from the model
Convergent validity was shown by the Average VarianceExtraction (AVE) value In Table 3 it was found that theAVE value for all variables was more than 05 it couldbe stated that all the variables and indicators of this studywere valid In the reliability test the results of the researchoutput showed that the value of composite reliability for allconstructs was above 07 it indicated that all constructs inthe estimated model met the criteria of discriminant validityso that it could be said to be reliable This reliability testwas reinforced by Cronbachrsquos Alpha value indicating thatall constructs were above 06 Thus all variables reinforcedthe latent variables or they were able to measure the latentvariables
322 Result of Structural Model Evaluation The evaluationof the structural model involved model capability testing andrelationship between constructs [32] The structural modelin the PLS was evaluated using R2 The R2 value was usedto determine the variation level of the independent variable

changes toward the dependent variable The R2 value can beseen in Table 4
Based on the result in Table 4 it could be seen thatthe R-square value of the habit variable was 010 It couldbe interpreted that the habit variable was affected by theindependent variables that were hedonic hunger and healthinterest was 102 while the rest was affected by anothervariable For habit variable the R-square value was 0009It could be interpreted that sodium variable was affected byhedonic hunger variable health interest and habit by 09while the rest was affected by another variable which did notexist in this research Based on R-square value the predictiverelevance value which could be used to know how the modelwas able to explain the information contained in the datacould also be calculated The calculation of the predictiverelevance could be done by using the following formula
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus R1
2) (1 minus R2
2)
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus 0102) (1 minus 0009)
Q2 = 1 minus (0898) (0991)
Q2 = 0911 = 911
(1)
The result of Q2 calculation indicated a value of 0911 Itmeant that themodel used in this study could explain the datainformation by 919 the value indicated that the model wassufficient to describe the research problems
323 Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing was done byusing a resampling bootstrap method Hypothesis testingwas performed by looking at the calculated t value if thecalculated t value gt198 at 5 significant level then it couldbe concluded that the hypothesis was significant The resultsof hypothesis testing can be seen in Table 5 and Figure 1
Table 5 gives the results of the calculated model coef-ficients it can be seen that hedonic hunger positively andsignificantly affect habit with coefficient value of 0245 andcalculated t value of 2052 which is greater than the calculatedt Health interest has a negative effect with the coefficient of -0197 and it was significant with the t value of 2236 Hedonichunger had no significant effect on sodium with coefficientvalue of 0003 and calculated t value of 0024 Health interesthad a positive effect but not significantly influencing sodiumwith coefficient value of 0053 and calculated t value of 0510Even though showing a positive effect habit has no significanteffect on sodium with coefficient value 0091 and calculated tvalue of 0894 Since the habit did not have a significant effect

4 Discussion
The result revealed that the average sodium consumptionof 117 students of Universitas Brawijaya was 249 gramday(Table 2) Sodium consumption at this level was above thelevel recommended by [31] which was less than 2 gramdayThe Ministry of Health also recommended consuming nomore than 23 gram of sodium per day High salt intake of thestudents was caused by their inability to control the source oftheir food
The results of hypothesis testing showed that hedonichunger and health interest had a significant effect on habitbut habit was inversely related to the interest of health Therespondents studied in this study were students and theirdietary habit tended to choose fast food This was consistentwith a research conducted by [14] who explained that peoplestill buy fast food even though their intentions are differentThis behavior is difficult to change due to the long-standinghabits College students also had higher education but it didnot have a positive impact on health interest toward habit[33] argued that education is an important socioeconomicfactor in determining the risk of poor food intake but anotherstudy conducted by [34] has shown that knowledge does notnecessarily make a person behave in a healthy manner
Hedonic hunger health interest habit did not have asignificant impact on sodium consumption Respondents hada tendency to eat because of desire and pleasure not becausethey wanted to meet the intake of nutrients in the bodyThis result supported the research conducted by [12] whichshowed that when hedonic hunger is pairedwith habit it doesnot affect daily salt intake that gives an appetizing effect onfood Hedonistic behavior also caused the consumer to maketoo many mistakes when choosing food due to their inabilityto control the nutrients intake in food consumed [20]
Research also showed that consumers are not willingto compromise on the taste for the sake of health [22]Consumers were still concerned with taste rather than healthin choosing various foods such as the selection of corn chips[35] and functional foods [36] It makes consumers ignorethe nutritional content and nutrients intake in the body [37]also described that health labels or logos such as ldquoreducingsaltrdquo or ldquohealthy choicesrdquo aim to facilitate healthy food choicesfor consumers making it a warning to consumers who worrymore about the taste of a product rather than health

The habit of adding salt when cooking is a part of theculture of Indonesian society This habit does not controlsodium intake People develop the habit of eating foodbecause they repeatedly eat the same kind and amount of foodin the same way [4 38 39] [40] explained in his research thatdaily dietary consumption determines the healthy nature of adiet
It should be noted that this study was limited on the 117sample students within the University Therefore the resultswill only be applicable to the specific sample populationwhich is Universitas Brawijaya Further research might beexpanded with a larger sample size of University students
5 Conclusion
Based on the research results hedonic hunger and healthinterest have significant impact on habit but both have nosignificant influence on sodium intake However the effectof health interest was inversely related to health Fast foodeating habit and various choices of food with appetizingflavors could make consumers ignore the adverse effects offood on their health The respondents had a tendency toeat based on desire and pleasure rather than fulfilling theirrequired nutritional intake and therefore salt intake was notwell controlled Habits of eating salty food may result inignorance on health and nutritional aspects

Habit can be defined as a psychological tendency to repeatpast behavior [10] Habits are certain behaviors that a persondoes repeatedly in a fixed situation to pursue his or her goals[11] Although habit formation allows individuals to performhis or her daily routines in a very efficient way habits alsohave negative consequences Several studies have shown thatpeople find it difficult to eliminate unwanted habits one ofthem is the habit of eating everyday foods [12ndash14] Habitplays an important role in maintaining the appropriate levelof nutrition in individuals of all ages [15]
The habit of consuming salty food results in high level ofsodium in the body That habit can be minimized by dietingto control the daily food intake Diet is considered as one ofthe most important determinants in controlling heart diseaseand risk factors as associated with hypertension and obesityEvidence-based data shows that an effective diet regime isimportant in the relationship between health and illness [16]The habit of choosing healthy foods also protects individualsagainst the desire to eat large amounts of food or unhealthyfoods [4]
Hedonic hunger is defined as the driver for people toconsume food when they are not really hungry for exampleconsuming a dessert due to its pleasurable experience [17]The hedonic driver from todayrsquos environment provides a wideselection of very cheap tasty food [18] As a result hedonichunger can be a stimulus for food consumption contradictingto a persons desire for a healthy diet [19] Hedonist behavioralso causes the consumer to make too many dietary mistakeswhen choosing food because of their inability to control theirfood intake [20]
Unhealthy eating behavior is also determined by thehealth interest of the consumer Diet has been shown tobe associated with various diseases such as obesity heartdisease cancer type 2 diabetes The main dietary concernsinclude over consumption of saturated and trans fats and lowconsumption of vegetables fruits and grains Todays food isvery varied in taste and price It is easy for consumers tochoose a healthy diet especially as there is growing evidencethat the easy availability of healthy foods has an impor-tant influence on food choice [21] However only health-conscious individuals are concerned about the importanceof a healthy diet and change the diet accordingly to benefitfrom healthy products [22] The choice of a healthy diet isassociated with the health risks that people face and it isstrongly affected by the health behaviors adopted [23]
Based on the explanations described above this studyaims to determine the relationship between hedonic hungerand health interest against habit In addition this study alsoaims to determine the relationship between hedonic hungerhealth interest and sodium intake patterns
2 Method
21 Population and Sample Thebase population of this studyconsisted of the students from the Universitas BrawijayaThedata used is from 2014 collected from 135 sample studentsout of the 55000 students at the Universitas Brawijaya Thesampling method employed Slovin formula which has an
error margin of 10 thus at least 100 participants wereneeded 135 students were selected to participate in thisresearch The sampling technique was done randomly so allmembers of the parent population had equal opportunity tobe in the sample [24]
22 Measurement The questionnaire was prepared specifi-cally for this study and adjusted tomeasure sodiumconsump-tion habit hedonic hunger and health interests The itemfor each question was a modification of previous researchand was adapted to the purpose of this study which wasto determine the salt consumption of the participants Thehedonic hunger questionnaire was adapted from The Powerof Food Scale (PFS) PFS is a self-made measurement inassessing the extent to which appetizing foods affect onesthoughts and feelings when they are not physically hungry[25] The hedonic hunger questionnaire consisted of 10questions on three levels of food proximity the desire toeat something but not physically present for consumptionfood present but not eaten and food tasted but not consumed[12 25] Health interest was determined by using 5 questionsbased onGHI (GeneralHealth Interest) adapted fromFenkorsquos2015 research which concerned the content of healthy foodsuch as protein nutrients and minerals Habit was measuredby using 7 questions that represented two habits of behaviorrepetitive and automatic with regard to consuming salty foodThe complete question set is given in Table 1
The daily consumption pattern of sodium was measuredby using SQ-FFQ (Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Ques-tionnaire) which is a commonmethod applied for estimationof dietary intake based on long term food intake in large epi-demiological studies [26 27] Measurement of sodium intakewas adapted from salt intake questionnaire of [28] and dietarysodium intake of [29] that had been tested and validated Atotal of 34 items were used to measure daily sodium intakeTo calculate the sodium intake participants estimated howmany times a particular had been food consumed in thelast 3 months Food consumption was measured into fourcategories never daily weekly and monthly In the dailycategory respondents were asked to state how many times afood was consumed in a day similarly for weekly and dailyconsumption
23 Data Analysis The data analysis method employed inthis research was descriptive and inferential Descriptiveanalysis was used to explain the general description thatoccurred to the respondents The software used for descrip-tive analysis was SPSS 180 and NutriSurvey 2007 SPSSwas used to analyse the general descriptions given by therespondents NutriSurvey 2007 was used to determine thenutritional content of a food and determine sodium intake inthis study Inferential analysis was used to perform the con-ceptual test stated in the research hypothesis In accordancewith the hypothesis that had been formulated the methodused in this study was Partial Least Square (PLS) whichis an alternative approach that shifts the covariance-basedStructural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach to variance-based one SEMgenerally tests the causality while PLS ismorepredictive

31 Description of Respondentsrsquo Characteristics There were135 questionnaires distributed in this study However only 117questionnaires were considered valid The results of sodiumconsumption based on respondentsrsquo characteristics can beseen in Table 2 Table 2 shows the mean and standarddeviation of sodium consumption (gramday)
Based on Table 2 it can be seen that the average sodiumconsumed by men was 249 gramday while the averagesodium consumed by womenwas 246 gramdayThe averagesodium consumption consumed by respondents aged 16-20 year old was 2761 gramday while the average sodiumconsumed by respondents aged 21-25 year old was 237Based on the results of this study the consumption ofsodium of respondents at the age of 16-20 year old wasgreater than the respondents aged 21-25 year old Sodiumconsumption for respondents whose monthly expenses wereless than 1 million was 252 gramday As for the respondentswho spent 1-5 million the sodium consumption was 240
gramday The respondents in this study only consisted oftwo BMI categories underweight and normal weight Thesodium intake for normal weight was 255 gramday whilefor the underweight category was 224 gramday This studyindicated that sodium consumption of normal weight peoplewas higher than underweight people It was contrary to thefindings of [30] who showed that there was a significantrelationship between sodium increase and BMI increaseTheresults also revealed that the average sodium consumed perindividual was 248 gramday it was not in accordance withthe WHO recommendation which recommended a sodiumintake of less than 2 gramday or 5 gram of salt per day[31]

result of reflective measurement model evaluation can beseen in Table 3
Convergence validity test for reflective indicator usedloading value that was correlation value between item scoreand construct score The reflective indicator measurementindicated a change in an indicator in a construct if anotherindicator on the same construct changed (or was removedfrom themodel) In Table 3 it could be seen that the indicatorcontained in the table was a valid indicator representingthe construct that had a loading factor value gt 05 whileother indicators that did not exist in the table having a valueof loading factor lt05 had been removed from the model
Convergent validity was shown by the Average VarianceExtraction (AVE) value In Table 3 it was found that theAVE value for all variables was more than 05 it couldbe stated that all the variables and indicators of this studywere valid In the reliability test the results of the researchoutput showed that the value of composite reliability for allconstructs was above 07 it indicated that all constructs inthe estimated model met the criteria of discriminant validityso that it could be said to be reliable This reliability testwas reinforced by Cronbachrsquos Alpha value indicating thatall constructs were above 06 Thus all variables reinforcedthe latent variables or they were able to measure the latentvariables
322 Result of Structural Model Evaluation The evaluationof the structural model involved model capability testing andrelationship between constructs [32] The structural modelin the PLS was evaluated using R2 The R2 value was usedto determine the variation level of the independent variable

changes toward the dependent variable The R2 value can beseen in Table 4
Based on the result in Table 4 it could be seen thatthe R-square value of the habit variable was 010 It couldbe interpreted that the habit variable was affected by theindependent variables that were hedonic hunger and healthinterest was 102 while the rest was affected by anothervariable For habit variable the R-square value was 0009It could be interpreted that sodium variable was affected byhedonic hunger variable health interest and habit by 09while the rest was affected by another variable which did notexist in this research Based on R-square value the predictiverelevance value which could be used to know how the modelwas able to explain the information contained in the datacould also be calculated The calculation of the predictiverelevance could be done by using the following formula
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus R1
2) (1 minus R2

Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus 0102) (1 minus 0009)
Q2 = 1 minus (0898) (0991)
Q2 = 0911 = 911
(1)
The result of Q2 calculation indicated a value of 0911 Itmeant that themodel used in this study could explain the datainformation by 919 the value indicated that the model wassufficient to describe the research problems
323 Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing was done byusing a resampling bootstrap method Hypothesis testingwas performed by looking at the calculated t value if thecalculated t value gt198 at 5 significant level then it couldbe concluded that the hypothesis was significant The resultsof hypothesis testing can be seen in Table 5 and Figure 1
Table 5 gives the results of the calculated model coef-ficients it can be seen that hedonic hunger positively andsignificantly affect habit with coefficient value of 0245 andcalculated t value of 2052 which is greater than the calculatedt Health interest has a negative effect with the coefficient of -0197 and it was significant with the t value of 2236 Hedonichunger had no significant effect on sodium with coefficientvalue of 0003 and calculated t value of 0024 Health interesthad a positive effect but not significantly influencing sodiumwith coefficient value of 0053 and calculated t value of 0510Even though showing a positive effect habit has no significanteffect on sodium with coefficient value 0091 and calculated tvalue of 0894 Since the habit did not have a significant effect

4 Discussion
The result revealed that the average sodium consumptionof 117 students of Universitas Brawijaya was 249 gramday(Table 2) Sodium consumption at this level was above thelevel recommended by [31] which was less than 2 gramdayThe Ministry of Health also recommended consuming nomore than 23 gram of sodium per day High salt intake of thestudents was caused by their inability to control the source oftheir food
The results of hypothesis testing showed that hedonichunger and health interest had a significant effect on habitbut habit was inversely related to the interest of health Therespondents studied in this study were students and theirdietary habit tended to choose fast food This was consistentwith a research conducted by [14] who explained that peoplestill buy fast food even though their intentions are differentThis behavior is difficult to change due to the long-standinghabits College students also had higher education but it didnot have a positive impact on health interest toward habit[33] argued that education is an important socioeconomicfactor in determining the risk of poor food intake but anotherstudy conducted by [34] has shown that knowledge does notnecessarily make a person behave in a healthy manner
Hedonic hunger health interest habit did not have asignificant impact on sodium consumption Respondents hada tendency to eat because of desire and pleasure not becausethey wanted to meet the intake of nutrients in the bodyThis result supported the research conducted by [12] whichshowed that when hedonic hunger is pairedwith habit it doesnot affect daily salt intake that gives an appetizing effect onfood Hedonistic behavior also caused the consumer to maketoo many mistakes when choosing food due to their inabilityto control the nutrients intake in food consumed [20]
Research also showed that consumers are not willingto compromise on the taste for the sake of health [22]Consumers were still concerned with taste rather than healthin choosing various foods such as the selection of corn chips[35] and functional foods [36] It makes consumers ignorethe nutritional content and nutrients intake in the body [37]also described that health labels or logos such as ldquoreducingsaltrdquo or ldquohealthy choicesrdquo aim to facilitate healthy food choicesfor consumers making it a warning to consumers who worrymore about the taste of a product rather than health

The habit of adding salt when cooking is a part of theculture of Indonesian society This habit does not controlsodium intake People develop the habit of eating foodbecause they repeatedly eat the same kind and amount of foodin the same way [4 38 39] [40] explained in his research thatdaily dietary consumption determines the healthy nature of adiet
It should be noted that this study was limited on the 117sample students within the University Therefore the resultswill only be applicable to the specific sample populationwhich is Universitas Brawijaya Further research might beexpanded with a larger sample size of University students
5 Conclusion
Based on the research results hedonic hunger and healthinterest have significant impact on habit but both have nosignificant influence on sodium intake However the effectof health interest was inversely related to health Fast foodeating habit and various choices of food with appetizingflavors could make consumers ignore the adverse effects offood on their health The respondents had a tendency toeat based on desire and pleasure rather than fulfilling theirrequired nutritional intake and therefore salt intake was notwell controlled Habits of eating salty food may result inignorance on health and nutritional aspects

result of reflective measurement model evaluation can beseen in Table 3
Convergence validity test for reflective indicator usedloading value that was correlation value between item scoreand construct score The reflective indicator measurementindicated a change in an indicator in a construct if anotherindicator on the same construct changed (or was removedfrom themodel) In Table 3 it could be seen that the indicatorcontained in the table was a valid indicator representingthe construct that had a loading factor value gt 05 whileother indicators that did not exist in the table having a valueof loading factor lt05 had been removed from the model
Convergent validity was shown by the Average VarianceExtraction (AVE) value In Table 3 it was found that theAVE value for all variables was more than 05 it couldbe stated that all the variables and indicators of this studywere valid In the reliability test the results of the researchoutput showed that the value of composite reliability for allconstructs was above 07 it indicated that all constructs inthe estimated model met the criteria of discriminant validityso that it could be said to be reliable This reliability testwas reinforced by Cronbachrsquos Alpha value indicating thatall constructs were above 06 Thus all variables reinforcedthe latent variables or they were able to measure the latentvariables
322 Result of Structural Model Evaluation The evaluationof the structural model involved model capability testing andrelationship between constructs [32] The structural modelin the PLS was evaluated using R2 The R2 value was usedto determine the variation level of the independent variable

changes toward the dependent variable The R2 value can beseen in Table 4
Based on the result in Table 4 it could be seen thatthe R-square value of the habit variable was 010 It couldbe interpreted that the habit variable was affected by theindependent variables that were hedonic hunger and healthinterest was 102 while the rest was affected by anothervariable For habit variable the R-square value was 0009It could be interpreted that sodium variable was affected byhedonic hunger variable health interest and habit by 09while the rest was affected by another variable which did notexist in this research Based on R-square value the predictiverelevance value which could be used to know how the modelwas able to explain the information contained in the datacould also be calculated The calculation of the predictiverelevance could be done by using the following formula
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus R1
2) (1 minus R2
2)
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus 0102) (1 minus 0009)
Q2 = 1 minus (0898) (0991)
Q2 = 0911 = 911
(1)
The result of Q2 calculation indicated a value of 0911 Itmeant that themodel used in this study could explain the datainformation by 919 the value indicated that the model wassufficient to describe the research problems
323 Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing was done byusing a resampling bootstrap method Hypothesis testingwas performed by looking at the calculated t value if thecalculated t value gt198 at 5 significant level then it couldbe concluded that the hypothesis was significant The resultsof hypothesis testing can be seen in Table 5 and Figure 1
Table 5 gives the results of the calculated model coef-ficients it can be seen that hedonic hunger positively andsignificantly affect habit with coefficient value of 0245 andcalculated t value of 2052 which is greater than the calculatedt Health interest has a negative effect with the coefficient of -0197 and it was significant with the t value of 2236 Hedonichunger had no significant effect on sodium with coefficientvalue of 0003 and calculated t value of 0024 Health interesthad a positive effect but not significantly influencing sodiumwith coefficient value of 0053 and calculated t value of 0510Even though showing a positive effect habit has no significanteffect on sodium with coefficient value 0091 and calculated tvalue of 0894 Since the habit did not have a significant effect

4 Discussion
The result revealed that the average sodium consumptionof 117 students of Universitas Brawijaya was 249 gramday(Table 2) Sodium consumption at this level was above thelevel recommended by [31] which was less than 2 gramdayThe Ministry of Health also recommended consuming nomore than 23 gram of sodium per day High salt intake of thestudents was caused by their inability to control the source oftheir food
The results of hypothesis testing showed that hedonichunger and health interest had a significant effect on habitbut habit was inversely related to the interest of health Therespondents studied in this study were students and theirdietary habit tended to choose fast food This was consistentwith a research conducted by [14] who explained that peoplestill buy fast food even though their intentions are differentThis behavior is difficult to change due to the long-standinghabits College students also had higher education but it didnot have a positive impact on health interest toward habit[33] argued that education is an important socioeconomicfactor in determining the risk of poor food intake but anotherstudy conducted by [34] has shown that knowledge does notnecessarily make a person behave in a healthy manner
Hedonic hunger health interest habit did not have asignificant impact on sodium consumption Respondents hada tendency to eat because of desire and pleasure not becausethey wanted to meet the intake of nutrients in the bodyThis result supported the research conducted by [12] whichshowed that when hedonic hunger is pairedwith habit it doesnot affect daily salt intake that gives an appetizing effect onfood Hedonistic behavior also caused the consumer to maketoo many mistakes when choosing food due to their inabilityto control the nutrients intake in food consumed [20]
Research also showed that consumers are not willingto compromise on the taste for the sake of health [22]Consumers were still concerned with taste rather than healthin choosing various foods such as the selection of corn chips[35] and functional foods [36] It makes consumers ignorethe nutritional content and nutrients intake in the body [37]also described that health labels or logos such as ldquoreducingsaltrdquo or ldquohealthy choicesrdquo aim to facilitate healthy food choicesfor consumers making it a warning to consumers who worrymore about the taste of a product rather than health

The habit of adding salt when cooking is a part of theculture of Indonesian society This habit does not controlsodium intake People develop the habit of eating foodbecause they repeatedly eat the same kind and amount of foodin the same way [4 38 39] [40] explained in his research thatdaily dietary consumption determines the healthy nature of adiet
It should be noted that this study was limited on the 117sample students within the University Therefore the resultswill only be applicable to the specific sample populationwhich is Universitas Brawijaya Further research might beexpanded with a larger sample size of University students
5 Conclusion
Based on the research results hedonic hunger and healthinterest have significant impact on habit but both have nosignificant influence on sodium intake However the effectof health interest was inversely related to health Fast foodeating habit and various choices of food with appetizingflavors could make consumers ignore the adverse effects offood on their health The respondents had a tendency toeat based on desire and pleasure rather than fulfilling theirrequired nutritional intake and therefore salt intake was notwell controlled Habits of eating salty food may result inignorance on health and nutritional aspects

The habit of adding salt when cooking is a part of theculture of Indonesian society This habit does not controlsodium intake People develop the habit of eating foodbecause they repeatedly eat the same kind and amount of foodin the same way [4 38 39] [40] explained in his research thatdaily dietary consumption determines the healthy nature of adiet
It should be noted that this study was limited on the 117sample students within the University Therefore the resultswill only be applicable to the specific sample populationwhich is Universitas Brawijaya Further research might beexpanded with a larger sample size of University students
5 Conclusion
Based on the research results hedonic hunger and healthinterest have significant impact on habit but both have nosignificant influence on sodium intake However the effectof health interest was inversely related to health Fast foodeating habit and various choices of food with appetizingflavors could make consumers ignore the adverse effects offood on their health The respondents had a tendency toeat based on desire and pleasure rather than fulfilling theirrequired nutritional intake and therefore salt intake was notwell controlled Habits of eating salty food may result inignorance on health and nutritional aspects

changes toward the dependent variable The R2 value can beseen in Table 4
Based on the result in Table 4 it could be seen thatthe R-square value of the habit variable was 010 It couldbe interpreted that the habit variable was affected by theindependent variables that were hedonic hunger and healthinterest was 102 while the rest was affected by anothervariable For habit variable the R-square value was 0009It could be interpreted that sodium variable was affected byhedonic hunger variable health interest and habit by 09while the rest was affected by another variable which did notexist in this research Based on R-square value the predictiverelevance value which could be used to know how the modelwas able to explain the information contained in the datacould also be calculated The calculation of the predictiverelevance could be done by using the following formula
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus R1
2) (1 minus R2
2)
Q2 = 1 minus (1 minus 0102) (1 minus 0009)
Q2 = 1 minus (0898) (0991)
Q2 = 0911 = 911
(1)
The result of Q2 calculation indicated a value of 0911 Itmeant that themodel used in this study could explain the datainformation by 919 the value indicated that the model wassufficient to describe the research problems
323 Hypothesis Testing Hypothesis testing was done byusing a resampling bootstrap method Hypothesis testingwas performed by looking at the calculated t value if thecalculated t value gt198 at 5 significant level then it couldbe concluded that the hypothesis was significant The resultsof hypothesis testing can be seen in Table 5 and Figure 1
Table 5 gives the results of the calculated model coef-ficients it can be seen that hedonic hunger positively andsignificantly affect habit with coefficient value of 0245 andcalculated t value of 2052 which is greater than the calculatedt Health interest has a negative effect with the coefficient of -0197 and it was significant with the t value of 2236 Hedonichunger had no significant effect on sodium with coefficientvalue of 0003 and calculated t value of 0024 Health interesthad a positive effect but not significantly influencing sodiumwith coefficient value of 0053 and calculated t value of 0510Even though showing a positive effect habit has no significanteffect on sodium with coefficient value 0091 and calculated tvalue of 0894 Since the habit did not have a significant effect

4 Discussion
The result revealed that the average sodium consumptionof 117 students of Universitas Brawijaya was 249 gramday(Table 2) Sodium consumption at this level was above thelevel recommended by [31] which was less than 2 gramdayThe Ministry of Health also recommended consuming nomore than 23 gram of sodium per day High salt intake of thestudents was caused by their inability to control the source oftheir food
The results of hypothesis testing showed that hedonichunger and health interest had a significant effect on habitbut habit was inversely related to the interest of health Therespondents studied in this study were students and theirdietary habit tended to choose fast food This was consistentwith a research conducted by [14] who explained that peoplestill buy fast food even though their intentions are differentThis behavior is difficult to change due to the long-standinghabits College students also had higher education but it didnot have a positive impact on health interest toward habit[33] argued that education is an important socioeconomicfactor in determining the risk of poor food intake but anotherstudy conducted by [34] has shown that knowledge does notnecessarily make a person behave in a healthy manner
Hedonic hunger health interest habit did not have asignificant impact on sodium consumption Respondents hada tendency to eat because of desire and pleasure not becausethey wanted to meet the intake of nutrients in the bodyThis result supported the research conducted by [12] whichshowed that when hedonic hunger is pairedwith habit it doesnot affect daily salt intake that gives an appetizing effect onfood Hedonistic behavior also caused the consumer to maketoo many mistakes when choosing food due to their inabilityto control the nutrients intake in food consumed [20]
Research also showed that consumers are not willingto compromise on the taste for the sake of health [22]Consumers were still concerned with taste rather than healthin choosing various foods such as the selection of corn chips[35] and functional foods [36] It makes consumers ignorethe nutritional content and nutrients intake in the body [37]also described that health labels or logos such as ldquoreducingsaltrdquo or ldquohealthy choicesrdquo aim to facilitate healthy food choicesfor consumers making it a warning to consumers who worrymore about the taste of a product rather than health
