Responses to the belief statements indicated that elderly subjects who used supplements, either appropriately or inappropriately, had more misperceptions about vitamin/mineral supplements than elderly subjects who did not use supplements. These results indicate that the elderly need guidance from dietitians or other qualified health professionals to make informed choices on whether to take vitamin/mineral supplements. Those elderly persons who choose to use supplement products also need guidance in terms of safety and cost.
对这些信念陈述的回应表明，无论使用补充剂是否恰当，使用补充剂的老年受试者比不使用补充剂的老年受试者对维生素/矿物质补充剂有更多误解。这些结果表明，老年人需要营养师或其他合格的健康专业人员的指导，以便就是否服用维生素/矿物质补充剂做出明智的选择。那些选择使用补充剂产品的老年人在安全性和成本方面也需要指导。
