To identify the prevalence of dietary supplement (DS) use, perceptions of DS efficacy, and lifestyle behaviors of DS users and non-users.
Undergraduate students, student-athletes, and ROTC cadets at a Midwestern University between September 2014 and January 2015.
A cross-sectional online survey was administered. Analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-square, and independent sample t-tests.
At least 50% of respondents from each group reported DS use. Users generally reported favorable perceptions of efficacy. Undergraduate student DS users reported more exercise and more healthful dietary habits compared to non-users; however, nearly 72% of undergraduates who reported tobacco use also reported DS use. Less significant differences were observed in the student-athlete and cadet samples.
DS use is common on college campuses, and many DS users report favorable perceptions of efficacy. With the exception of tobacco use, collegiate DS users generally report lifestyles that are as healthy or healthier than non-users.
确定膳食补充剂（DS）的使用 prevalence、对DS功效的认知以及DS使用者和非使用者的生活方式行为。
2014年9月至2015年1月期间，一所中西部大学的本科生、学生运动员和后备军官训练队学员。
进行了一项横断面在线调查。分析包括描述性统计、卡方检验和独立样本t检验。
每组中至少50%的受访者报告使用了DS。使用者普遍报告对功效有良好认知。与非使用者相比，本科DS使用者报告有更多锻炼和更健康的饮食习惯；然而，报告使用烟草的本科生中近72%也报告使用了DS。在学生运动员和学员样本中观察到的差异不太显著。
DS在大学校园中使用普遍，许多DS使用者报告对功效有良好认知。除了使用烟草外，大学DS使用者一般报告的生活方式与非使用者一样健康或更健康。
