CONCLUSIONS
From this survey, 30-40% of the participants aged 20 years or older could be considered overweight with excess abdominal fat indicated by the waistline and body mass index, and 38.5% of the participants consumed dietary supplements. Multivariate statistics can provide more and easier-to- understand information on consumers considered to be dietary supplement users and on the factors influencing their dietary supplement purchase. The following have been shown to be the characteristics of dietary supplement consumers: being female, people with recommended waistline and those who have higher income, while their behaviours include feeling stress or sick, routinely taking fruits/vegetables or routinely drinking water. In making decision to purchase dietary supplements, consumers concentrate on product quality rather than attractiveness and advertisement, whilst an acceptable price of product seems to be influenced by many factors.
