Exploring influential factors in the purchasing of nutritional supplements for the elderly
Abstract:
This research delves into the intricate landscape of factors influencing the purchasing decisions of nutritional supplements tailored for the elderly within the dynamic context of Thailand. As the population ages and dietary needs evolve, the significance of these supplements has grown considerably. The study provides valuable insights into the interplay of diverse factors that shape consumer choices in this domain. Quantitative surveys, utilizing a convenience sampling method, were employed to gather data from 385 respondents, carefully selected to represent the diverse demographic of supplement consumers. The structured questionnaire assessed respondents' levels of agreement with statements related to health consciousness, quality assurance, social influence, accessibility, and perceived benefits as influential factors in their supplement purchasing decisions. Through the lens of regression analysis, this study unraveled the intricate relationships among these factors, offering a nuanced understanding of their specific impact on elderly consumers' choices. Notably, the results illuminate the significant influence of health consciousness, quality assurance, social influence, accessibility, and perceived benefits on the purchasing decisions of nutritional supplements for the elderly in Thailand. These findings contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play in the nutritional supplement market, providing actionable insights for both researchers and industry stakeholders to enhance strategies and meet the evolving needs of elderly consumers
