Methods: design a cross-sectional using an online survey distributed nationwide. statistical analysis data included descriptive statistics describing sociodemographic characteristics respondents, their experience with infection, consumption general home-remedies remedy, practice home-remedy use, attitude towards home-remedy. Sub-group including chi-square test computed for variables relation remedy perceived effectiveness types remedy. Multivariate Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) applied determine correlations between factors outcomes measured. P-value less than 0.05 is considered statistically significant. Results: There total 864 eligible responses study. primary findings showed used 72.2% participants. Most frequently were cloves (37%), lemon honey (23%), there infrequent coconut (4.6%), eucalyptus oil (3.7%), habbatussauda (3.5%), traditional/ herbal cough syrup (2.4%), turmeric (2.2%). PLS-SEM demonstrated that ‘Experience’ appears be central endogenous variable decision on This relationship mediated ‘Safety’, ‘Source’, ‘Opinion’ which significant contributions outcome, accounting 98.2% variance explained (R-square = 0.982).

Dietary supplement use is common among US adults. We aimed to investigate the quantity, duration, adherence, and reasons for in individuals who take supplements. Data from 2011 2018 National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) dataset were analyzed. Four cycles of data combined estimate these outcomes. Results are presented as overall group by subgroups. All analyses weighted be nationally representative. The Taylor Series Linearization approach was used generate variance estimates. A total 12,529 participants included. Over 70% reported taking more than one unit dietary supplements daily. Notably, approximately 40% had been five years about 67% highly adherent at least supplement. However, only 26.9% taken following a doctor’s recommendation. primary intake included improving health (37.2%), maintaining (34.7%), bone (21.4%), diet supplementation (20.3%). Our findings indicate that most proactively multiple focused on self-managed prevention, with substantial dedication long-term high adherence. Healthcare professionals should play active role guiding such behaviors optimize outcomes users across United States.
