Abstract
- This study examined the relationship between dietary supplements and nutritional status, as well as the risk of metabolic syndrome among elderly (aged 65 and older) household types, using data from the 7th Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Across all household types, dietary supplement users had a higher intake of vitamins and minerals, compared to non-users. As a result, a significant decrease was observed in the prevalence of individuals with nutrient intakes below the stimated average requirement (EAR), particularly in single-person and multi-generation households. In single-generation households, non-users had higher HDL cholesterol levels than the other groups, while users had significantly lower cholesterol levels. Adjusting for gender and age, supplement consumption among the elderly decreased the risk of low HDL cholesterol levels, indicating a potential association with lower metabolic syndrome risk (OR=0.798, P=0.006). In conclusion, the use of dietary supplements among the elderly may improve their nutritional status, particularly in single-person and multi-generation households facing higher risks of nutritional deficiencies. In addition, the utilization of dietary supplements can reduce the risk of low HDL cholesterol in single-generation households.
