<P><B>Objective</B></P><P>The use of dietary supplements has been increasing rapidly in Korea over the last decade. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between the pattern of dietary supplement use and the sociodemographic/lifestyle characteristics of Korean consumers.</P><P><B>Methods</B></P><P>Participants were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire on their sociodemographic and lifestyle characteristics, perceived health status, and regular dietary supplement use.</P><P><B>Results</B></P><P>A total of 697 men and 832 women completed the questionnaire. Of the respondents, 44.3% of the men and 53.2% of the women used some kind of dietary supplement regularly. Dietary supplement users were more likely to be women (<I>P</I> < 0.001), to be older than 50 years (<I>P</I> < 0.001), to have a higher household income (<I>P</I> = 0.003), to engage in moderate or vigorous physical activity (<I>P</I> < 0.032), to perceive themselves as healthy (<I>P</I> = 0.026), and to have received a diagnosis of a chronic disease (<I>P</I> < 0.001). In addition, the type of dietary supplements used varied with respect to sociodemographic and lifestyle factors. Among dietary supplement users, men preferred ginseng, and older respondents were more likely to use carbohydrate supplements and less likely to use lipid supplements. Those who had a lower BMI, were ex-smokers, or were nondrinkers preferred either vitamins or minerals. Those who were highly physical active or were nondrinkers tended to prefer either vitamin/mineral complexes or carbohydrate supplements.</P><P><B>Conclusions</B></P><P>The use of dietary supplements was related to sociodemographic and lifestyle factors in a Korean population.</P>
