Factors associated with the use of combined nutritional complementary and alternative medicine among southern US older adults: results from the study of aging II
Our study addresses a critical gap by examining the sociodemographic and chronic disease burden predictors of concurrent use of combined nutritional CAM modalities among older adults in the Southern United States. Such insights can help inform public health strategies and clinical guidance aimed at supporting the health and well-being of older adults, particularly as they navigate complex health decisions in the context of aging.
