| dc.description.abstract | Objective: Obesity is the most important public health problem of the 21st century. The prevalence of obesity in the community has led people to search for weight loss. In addition to lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity, eating behavior changes, different body weight protection methods are developed and many of these methods are offered under the name of weight loss products. The aim of this study is to determine the herbal product use approaches for weight loss in women and to determine the factors affecting the use of herbal products. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted on females aged 18-65, living in Denizli province, attending the sports courses twice a week. The research was carried out with 612 participants. The questionnaire was applied to individuals through faceto-face interviews. Results: Approximately half of females use herbal products (41,3%) and a great majority of the participants (70,4%) do not mention their products to their doctors or pharmacists. More than a half of the participants use of herbal products in the forms of tea 62,9%. Most of the participants (54,6%) buy such products from herbalists. It has been detected that 50,6% of the participants use herbal products everyday. Less than a half of them (35,2%) state that they get the necessary information and usage method from their neighbours and relatives. 26,3% of the participants have nausea-vomiting. 79,4% of the females advise the herbal products they use themselves to others. A great majority of them are married (n:439, %71,7) and have graduated from university (n:227, %37,1). Top five dry herbs are cinnamon (12,6%), flax seed (11,5%), oat (11,2%), black sesame (10,6%) and black pepper (8,5%). Lemon (22,9%), parsley (11,5%), tomato (8,3%), mint (7,8%) and avocado (6,9%) are mostly used as fresh herbs. Green tea (20,6%), sage (7,1%), linden (6,9%), cherry stalk (6,1%) and rosemary (5,2%) are preferred as herbal tees. Lemon (39,3%), cabbage (17,0%), onion (12,8%), garlic (11,7%) and tomato (4,2%) are used as herbal juice. Top six popular imported herbal drogs are herbalife (39,0%), green coffee (11,4%), pepper pill (10,4%), apple chromium (9,5%), golden berry (5,7%) and chocolate slim (5,7%). Conclusion: There are still deficiencies in supporting the effectiveness of the use of these products which are sold on various platforms. These products can lead to many side effects which can lead to death. In addition to the necessary regulations on herbal products, toxicological examinations and evidence-based data should be evaluated. © 2020 Refik Saydam National Public Health Agency (RSNPHA). | en_US |
