Measuring the impact of gender on dietary supplement purchasing frequency: evidence from Algeria.

Abstract

Using the t-test for two independent samples, this paper aims to examine the impact of gender on the purchasing frequency of dietary supplements in Algeria. Based on an online survey, this study was conducted between May 13 and August 12, 2023, among 321 participants (60 men and 261 women) from Algeria. Thus, the collected data were analyzed using a t-test of two independent samples, and independent-samples Mann-Whitney U Test via SPSS V26 software. In addition to the quantitative approach, this paper explored the qualitative method to review the previous research conducted on this subject. The result reveals that the purchase frequency of nutritional supplements is not significantly different between Algeria men and women. (Sig: 0.165).
