Abstract

Početkom 2020. svijetom je zavladala globalna pandemija čiji je uzročnik teški akutni respiratorni sindrom 2 (SARS-CoV-2), uzrokujući bolest COVID-19, što je utjecalo na brojne čimbenike u ljudskim životima. Cilj ovog rada je ispitati navike konzumacije dodataka prehrani u Republici Hrvatskoj prije i tijekom pandemije. Na uzorku od 520 ispitanika u online ispitivanju u 2022., utvrđeno je da se prije pandemije, najviše povremeno konzumirao vitamin C, a tijekom pandemije vitamin D, češće u žena nego u muškaraca (P < 0,05). Zdravi ispitanici su najviše spominjali Internet kao izvor informiranja o dodacima prehrani (P < 0,001). Žene i mlađe osobe do 34 godine, najčešće su kupovali dodatke prehrani u ljekarnama, ali su cijene za više od polovine ispitanika (54,8 %), bile previsoke. Budući da pandemija još uvijek traje, rezultati upućuju na potrebu daljnjih istraživanja u vezi sa prehrambenim navikama konzumacije hrane ili sastojaka hrane, koji jačaju imunosni sustav i doprinose zdravlju čovjeka.

Abstract (english)

At the beginning of 2020, the world was dominated by a global pandemic COVID-19 caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2), that affected human life. The aim of this paper is to examine the consumption habits of dietary supplements in the Republic of Croatia, before and during the pandemic. On a sample of 520 respondents thorugh online survey in 2022, it was determined that before the pandemic, vitamin C was consumed occasionally while during the pandemic vitamin D, often in women than in men (P < 0.05). Healthy respondents mostly mentioned the Internet as a source of information about food supplements (P < 0.001). Women and younger people often bought nutritional supplements in pharmacies, but the prices were too high for 54,8 % respondents. Since the pandemic is still ongoing, the results point the need of further research regarding dietary habits which strengthen the immune system and contribute to human health.
