“…In Japan, the number of people requiring long-term care is increasing as the population ages, and the importance of its prevention is growing. The factors associated with disability incidence have been reported including sociodemographic factors, health status variables, and life-style characters [7][8][9]. Although a recent study showed that polypharmacy with potentially inappropriate medications is a risk for sarcopenia in the Japanese elderly [10], there have been no reports on the association between health foods/supplements intake and long-term care in the Japanese elder population.…”

Background: In recent years, the number of people who consume health foods and supplements has increased owing to growing health consciousness. However, the association between health foods/supplements intake and long-term care in the general elder Japanese remains unclear. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we surveyed the intake of health foods/supplements among 8,718 community health checkup participants aged 65 years and over (49.7% men; mean age, 69.3 years) and examined the association between the intake of health foods/supplements and incidence of long-term care during a 9-year follow-up period. Results: Health foods/supplements intake was observed in 2,092 subjects (24.0%). Compared to the non-intake group, the health foods/supplements intake group showed a higher prevalence of women; a lower prevalence of smoking, alcohol consumption, comorbidities, and its medication. The most frequent health foods/supplements were vitamins, plants, and chondroitin-glucosamine/collagen. During follow-up period the incident long-term care occurred in 291 subjects (3.3%). In competing risk analysis, adjusted for confounding factors, the intake of 3 or more types of health foods/supplements was significantly associated with incidence of long-term care. The association between specific type of health foods/supplements and incidence of long-term care was not observed. Conclusions: This study reports a high prevalence of health foods/supplements intake and the association between the intake of multiple health foods/supplements and the incidence of long-term care in the general elder population in Japan. This finding indicates that the caution is required in taking many health foods/supplements without adequate information.
