“…Further, our findings support previous studies in which predictors for dietary supplement use have been assessed. Several studies have found that subjects who take dietary supplements also are more likely to have a higher micronutrient intake from food (Koplan et al, 1986;Dorant et al, 1993;Slesinski et al, 1996;Kaartinen et al, 1997;Lyle et al, 1998;Dwyer et al, 2001). In a national dietary survey, Johansson et al (1998) found that cod-liver oil contributed 33% of the total intake of very long-chain n-3 fatty acids.…”

“…In addition, the Norwegian National Council on Nutrition and Physical Activity has recommended daily consumption of cod-liver oil supplements, partly because of the suspected vulnerability to vitamin D deficiency in the Norwegian population in relation to low intake in the diet and limited exposure to sunshine, which is the main source of vitamin D (Webb & Holick, 1988). However, numerous surveys on predictors for dietary supplement use have shown that subjects with the highest nutrient intake are the most likely to take dietary supplements (Koplan et al, 1986;Slesinski et al, 1996;Frank et al, 2000;Dwyer et al, 2001;Troppmann et al, 2002). This suggests that the most likely consumers are less likely to need it, and vice versa.…”

Objective: To assess the use of cod-liver oil supplements among Norwegian women and to examine dietary, lifestyle, demographic, and health factors associated with use of this supplement. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting and subjects: The study is based on data from a food frequency questionnaire from 1998 answered by 37 226 women aged 41-55 y, who in 1991/1992 participated in the Norwegian component of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC). The Norwegian EPIC cohort was based on a random nation-wide sample of Norwegian women. Results: Cod-liver oil supplement use was reported by 44.7% of the participating women. Subjects with higher education, high physical activity level, and body mass index (BMI) in the normal range were more likely to use cod-liver oil supplements. Consumption did also increase with increased age as well as with increased reported consumption of fruits, vegetables, fatty fish, lean fish, and vitamin D (excluding the vitamin D contribution from cod-liver oil). Energy intake was higher among cod-liver oil users than nonusers. Whole-year daily users of cod-liver oil were also more likely to take other dietary supplements (OR ¼ 2.45, 95% CI: 2.28-2.62). Never smokers were more likely to use cod-liver oil supplements than current smokers. Conclusion: Use of cod-liver oil is associated with several sociodemographic factors, self-reported health issues, and intake of fish, fruit, and vegetables. When assessing the relationship between cod-liver oil use and occurrence of chronic diseases potential confounders need to be considered. Cod-liver oil use seemed not to be matched with vitamin D needs. Thus, emphasis on assessing vitamin D status by measuring levels in blood should be investigated further, in particular, among people living in northern latitudes.

“…Hierbei fällt auf, dass Mineralstoffe als Monopräparat den größten Anteil an der gesamten Supplementaufnahme verzeichnen (9 % aller Jugendlichen nehmen diese). Der am häufigsten supplementierte Nährstoff hingegen ist Vitamin C (61 %), wie auch in anderen Studien beobachtet werden konnte [20,21,22]. Eine mögliche Ursache für die hohe Einnahmefrequenz ist in der mannigfaltigen Produktauswahl zu sehen, da Vitamin C sowohl in Monopräparaten als auch in vielen Multivitaminpräparaten sowie in Kombipräparaten mit Mineralstoffen zu finden ist.…”
