“…Our study suggests that the characteristics observed among US adults attempting weight loss were more pronounced among the HM users than among the non-users. In addition, HM users demonstrated a significantly higher proportion of individuals holding private health insurance, a finding consistent with the characteristics of Korean medicine healthcare users, including HM, for patients with functional dyspepsia ( Lee et al, 2022b ).…”

“…Recently, policymaking according to evidence-based, real-world data (RWD) is increasing ( Cave et al, 2019 ; Kc et al, 2023 ), with RWD finding utility in the integrative medicine field for scrutinizing health outcomes, healthcare utilization, and associated factors ( Lee et al, 2022a ; Lee et al, 2022b ; Lee et al, 2023a ; Lee et al, 2023b ). By analyzing the characteristics and factors of HM users for weight loss, the demographics and variables of individuals who have unmet medical needs within conventional obesity treatment were identified.…”

BackgroundObesity imposes a significant socioeconomic burden owing to its high prevalence. In response to the adverse outcomes associated with conventional pharmacotherapy and the challenges of low adherence to lifestyle interventions, herbal medicine has surfaced as an actively utilized approach for weight loss. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the characteristics and influencing factors of herbal medicine users for weight loss in adults.MethodsOverall, 22,080 participants were included based on data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2010 to 2019. Simple logistic regression analyses were used to derive the associations between herbal medicine use for weight loss and individual characteristics. Three models were constructed utilizing multiple logistic regression analyses to assess the associations between herbal medicine use for weight loss and the combined characteristics of predisposing, enabling, and need factors according to Andersen’s model.ResultsIn the full adjustment model, women, younger adults, those with higher incomes, and individuals reporting higher levels of perceived stress were more prone to use herbal medicine for weight loss in the past year. Adults who identified body image as being fat/very fat, those who consumed alcohol, and those classified as severely obese by body mass index were also more prone to use herbal medicine for weight loss. In particular, adults with a higher rate and amount of weight loss in the past year were more likely to use herbal medicine for weight loss compared to those experiencing weight gain/no changes/loss of 0–3 kg.ConclusionOur study was the first to derive the characteristics and influencing factors of herbal medicine users for weight loss among adults. These findings hold significant promise for informing future research endeavors and policy decision-making for effective resource distribution for obesity treatment.

“…Another study identified the factors that affected Korean medicine health care use by privately insured people and found that patients with more chronic diseases used Korean medicine services more ( 25 ). A study analyzing the factors that affected Korean medicine healthcare use for treating functional dyspepsia found that participants with private health insurance and who were frequently or constantly stressed used the Korean medicine healthcare system more ( 26 ). These studies have similar results to our study.…”

“…A different study identified factors related to Korean medicine health care use, including HM, acupuncture, and moxibustion, in privately insured adults ( 25 ). The latter study also identified factors related to Korean medicine health care use in adult patients with functional dyspepsia ( 26 ). Our study was different because we limited the populations to overweight and obese adolescents that used HM for weight loss and analyzed the factors separately according to sex.…”

ObjectivesHerbal medicine (HM) is widely used to treat obesity in adolescents worldwide since the currently available interventions have low compliance and lack long-term effects and safety data. This study aimed to analyze the factors affecting HM use for weight loss in overweight and obese adolescents.MethodsA total of 46,336 adolescents were included in this cross-sectional study based on the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey. Three models of HM use for weigh loss were developed by sequentially adding predisposing, enabling, and need factors according to Andersen's model using multiple logistic regression analyses considering the complex sampling design.ResultsMale and female high school students and students from low perceived household economic status were less likely to use HM for weight loss. Students whose fathers had a college degree or higher, depressed mood, and two or more chronic allergic diseases were more likely to use HM. Male students who perceived their body image as fat or very fat tended to use HM less than those who perceived their body image as very thin, thin, or moderate. Obese female students tended to use HM more than overweight female students.ConclusionThese results can be used as the bases to promote HM use, provide ideas for future research, and strengthen the health insurance coverage extension for weight loss interventions.

“…Therefore, this study analyzed the relations between control variables related to the use of KM and WM by the Andersen behavior model and then analyzed the relationship between KM use and WM use [ 14 , 15 ]. This model has been widely used to analyze factors that induce medical use in the research [ 16 ]. Accordingly, using Andersen’s behavioral model as a control variable, a complementary relationship analysis between KM use and WM use was conducted.…”

This study was conducted using data from the Korea Medical Panel Survey (KMPS) carried out in 2015. Importantly, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between Korean medicine (KM) and Western medicine (WM) in medical service use. The general characteristics and the frequency of utilization of medical services were analyzed for 18,130 participants. Chi-square analysis was used to examine the factors that affected medical service use. Additionally, logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine the odds ratio (OR) between the KM Use with WM Use and KM&WM Use with disease group. The proportion of respondents who used KM&WM was the highest among those over 65 years of age and it was found to be statistically significant (p < 0.001). The OR for using KM and WM was 3.236 and it was also statistically significant (p < 0.001). Further, the ORs of KM&WM Use for all seven disease groups were greater than 1 and were statistically significant (p < 0.001) except for respiratory disease. The significant ORs of KM&WM Use were 10.342 (musculoskeletal), 2.073 (exogenous causes), 1.988 (nervous), 1.677 (digestive), 1.541 (circulatory) and 1.386 (skin). The findings in this study were attributed to a combination of social aspects such as the increasing incidence of chronic diseases among the elderly population, policy aspects such as the collaborative pilot project to promote collaborative treatment (CT), economic aspects, such as a lower total cost for CT and scientific aspects such as evidence supporting the efficacy of CT.
