Dietary supplement users were defined as the subjects who used dietary supplement(s) at least 3 days a week at the time of the DS questionnaire.
P for linear trend (with adjustment for age, number of children, income, and knowledge of nutritional recommendations) or overall P (for all other variables).
Values are n % for all variables except for age where values are mean SD.
From the French National Nutrition and Health Programme.
Determined by multiple correspondence analysis of data from a questionnaire on organic food consumption (5 clusters defined by the first 3 discriminant axes). Because of missing values, the proportions of subjects were calculated with 483 supplement users and 266 non-users.
