State and regional comparisons of the use of complementary health approaches: National Health Interview Survey, 2012
Clarke T , Jones L , Peregoy J , Stussman B , Nahin R . J Altern Complement Med 2014 20 (5) A143 Purpose: Based on previous health behavior studies, we expected variation in use of individual complementary health approaches by geographic location. This analysis presents geographic comparisons of use of complementary health approaches among U.S. adults ≥18 years, using data from the 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). | Methods: Data from the Adult Complementary and Alternative Medicine supplement of the 2012 NHIS were examined to compare prevalence estimates of complementary health approaches among 9 geographic regions and the top 10 most populous states in the U.S. Differences between regional/state percentages and national averages were evaluated using two-sided significance tests at the 0.05 level. All analyses were conducted using SUDAAN to account for the complex NHIS sample design. | Results: Non-vitamin, non-mineral dietary supplements (NVNMDS) (17.9%), chiropractic and osteopathic manipulation (8.5%), and yoga (8.4%) were the top three approaches used in the U.S. The prevalence of adults who used any of the most popular approaches was consistently higher in the Mountain region and consistently lower in the South Atlantic region when compared to the national average. Adults in Michigan (24.6%) and Ohio (23.3%) were more likely to use NVNMDS. Fewer adults in Florida (6.2%) and Texas (5.9%) saw a practitioner for chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation. A greater proportion of adults in California (11.0%) and Illinois (11.0%) used yoga. Other complementary health approaches commonly used by adults in 2012 included massage (6.8%) and meditation (6.3%). | Conclusion: Prevalence of use of complementary health approaches was consistently higher in the Mountain region compared to the national average. States with the lowest prevalence were in the southern regions. |
Popular modalities among children who use complementary health approaches
Jones L , Clarke T , Stussman B , Barnes P , Peregoy J , Nahin R . J Altern Complement Med 2014 20 (5) A144 Purpose: We examined changes between 2007 and 2012 in the use of selected modalities among children who used complementary health approaches. | Methods: Using the Child Complementary and Alternative Medicine supplements of the 2007 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), we calculated the percentage of children aged 4–17 years who used selected complementary health approach modalities among all children in that age range who used any complementary health approach. Point and standard error estimates were calculated using SUDAAN, accounting for the complex sample design of the NHIS. Percentages were age-adjusted to the projected 2000 U.S. standard population in order to make comparisons over time. Estimates were compared between years using two-tailed significance tests at the 0.05 level. | Results: The use of non-vitamin, non-mineral dietary supplements (NVNMDS) was the most common approach among children using any complementary health approach in both 2007 (33%) and 2012 (45%); however, the relative popularity of individual NVNMDS such as Echinacea, fish oils and melatonin changed substantially between years. In 2012, among those children who used any complementary health approach, 30% practiced yoga, tai chi or qi gong; this was a 50% increase from 2007. Conversely, use of acupuncture, progressive relaxation and special diets declined among children using complementary health approaches in 2007 and 2012. | Conclusion: We noted increased use of some individual approaches and decreased use of others. Children who used complementary health approaches in 2012 were more likely to take NVNMDS and participate in yoga, tai chi and qi gong compared to similar-aged children in 2007. |
Changing dietary supplement use among U.S. adults: 2000-2012
Jones L , Clarke T , Stussman B , Barnes P , Peregoy J , Nahin R . J Altern Complement Med 2014 20 (5) A144 Purpose: Non-vitamin, non-mineral dietary supplements (NVNMDS) such as fish oils, melatonin and Echinacea are used by many Americans for improving health and wellbeing. Previous studies indicate a steady increase in overall use of NVNMDS over time, but none have documented changes in individual NVNMDS use. | Methods: We used data from the 2000, 2002, 2007 and 2012 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS), which are collected from representative samples of U.S. adults aged 18 and over. Point and standard error estimates of overall and selected NVNMDS use were calculated using SUDAAN, accounting for the complex sample design of the NHIS. For each year, the denominator was the estimated number of adults in the U.S. Data were age-adjusted to the projected 2000 U.S. standard. Estimates of NVNMDS use were compared between years using two-tailed significance tests at the 0.05 level. | Results: In 2000, 14% of adults aged 18 years and over used NVNMDS. Overall use has remained stable with an increase of over3 percentage points between 2000 and 2012, but little change was seen when comparing 2007 to 2012. However, during this same time period, there have been significant changes in the specific NVNMDS used. In 2002, Echinacea, ginseng and ginkgo biloba were the most common supplements used by adults. In 2007 and 2012, the use of these three supplements decreased, and they were no longer among the top 5 NVNMDS used in 2012. In 2007 and 2012 fish oil was the most common NVNMDS used among adults (4.8% and 7.8%, respectively). Between 2007 and 2012 the use of melatonin doubled, while probiotic/prebiotic use quadrupled. Conversely, there was a decrease in glucosamine/chondroitin use between 2007 and 2012. | Conclusion: While the overall use of NVNMDS has remained relatively stable over time, large increases and decreases in the use of individual NVNMDS have been noted. |
