摘要: Abstract A survey questionnaire assessed supplement use by free-living residents of a retirement community. Of the 318 respondents (mean age 82.2 years), 20% women and men reported using herbal supplements, with 62% these them at least once per week. Most supplements users (97%) also used vitamin/mineral supplements. Sixty-eight percent felt very much/ somewhat informed about taking Forty-four percent, however, were not sure whether there was testing before marketing; 33% side effects. Half (52%) relied “very much/somewhat” on doctors/nurses as information sources; 40% dietitians.
