Background:

Dietary supplement consumption is a growing global health trend.
Understanding local usage patterns is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

To determine the prevalence of dietary supplement use in the Beijing population.
To identify demographic and lifestyle factors associated with supplement intake.

Main Methods:

A stratified cluster sampling method surveyed 4561 individuals across 6 Beijing regions.
Questionnaires collected data on dietary supplement use, demographics, health, and lifestyle.

Main Results:

Overall prevalence of dietary supplement use was 11.9% (standardized rate: 10.1%).
Prevalence was higher in females (14.5%) than males (9.0%).
Compound multivitamins and multiminerals were the most commonly used supplements, with usage varying across different population characteristics.

Conclusions:

Dietary supplement use in Beijing is lower compared to developed countries.
Further investigation is warranted to identify factors influencing supplement use in China.
