Objective: There has been a dramatic increase in the use of dietary supplements in Western societies over the past decades. Our understanding of the prevalence of O-3 fatty acid supplement consumption is of significance for future nutrition planning, health promotion and care delivery. However, we know little about O-3 fatty acid supplement consumption or users. This paper, drawing upon the largest dataset with regard to O-3 fatty acid supplement use (n=266 848), examines the use and users of this supplement among a large sample of older Australians living in New South Wales.
