건강기능식품인 오메가-3 섭취의 건강증진 효과 분석

초록

This study aimed to examine the impact of the consumption of health functional foods on consumers' health. A survey was conducted on 2,427 consumers in 2022, focusing on their current status of health functional food consumption, demographic characteristics, personal health and medical status, lifestyle, and dietary habits. Omega-3, which are among the most commonly consumed health functional foods, were analyzed using propensity score matching to determine how the consumption of these foods affects an individual's blood vessel health. Logistic regression analysis for matching revealed that omega-3 consumption was more prevalent among females, married individuals, those with fewer family members in their household, and those with higher monthly household incomes, as well as individuals with higher body mass index, and those who consumed alcohol and smoked. The results of the propensity score matching analysis, which aimed to measure the effect of omega-3 consumption on eye health enhancement among consumers and non-consumers, showed that omega-3 had an blood vessel health enhancement effect ranging from 5.97% to 6.01%.
