计算机存取用于对营养补充剂的研究：联邦资助的营养补充剂研究的一个数据库

营养学杂志 2005年7月 ;135(7):1796-9.

虽然营养补充剂的使用在美国普遍流行，但对营养补充剂研究的支持相对不大，只是最近被美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）加以强调。1994的营养补充剂健康和教育法案导致了在NIH创立营养补充剂部(ODS)以推动对营养补充剂的研究。为了追踪联邦资助的营养补充剂研究，营养补充剂部开发了名为“计算机存取”的用于对营养补充剂研究(CARDS)的一个数据库。本文对CARDS数据库的发展和潜在的用途进行了全面的评述。此外我们报道了从1999年到2002年财政年度NIH资助的营养补充剂研究在稳步增加。与此同时由美国国立癌症研究院和一个最新的NIH研究院和中心(ICs)-国立辅助医学与另类医学中心领导的多数NIH研究院和中心(ICs)资助了与营养补充剂的研究。CARDS数据库显示了从1999年到2002年财政年度NIH资助了主要包括维生素、矿物质、植物药材和植物化学品的营养补充剂研究。癌症和心血管疾病作为美国发病率和死亡率最高的两种疾病共占与营养补充剂有关研究的45%。多种类型的调查研究以及由人类介入研究组成的大多数研究被资助。这个信息对于评价联邦资助的营养补充剂研究，确定研究差距以及协助研究科学家确定NIH基金的可能来源十分有益。

Computer access to research on dietary supplements: a database of federally funded dietary supplement research.
J Nutr. 2005 Jul;135(7):1796-9.
Dietary supplement use is prevalent in the United States, but support for supplement research has been relatively modest and only recently emphasized at the NIH. The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 led to the creation of the Office of Dietary Supplements (ODS) at the NIH to promote research on dietary supplements. In order to track federally funded dietary supplement research, the ODS developed a database known as Computer Access to Research on Dietary Supplements (CARDS). This article provides an overview of the development and potential uses of the CARDS database. In addition, we report that NIH-funded dietary supplement research steadily increased from fiscal year (FY) 1999 through 2002. The majority of NIH institutes or centers (ICs) funded research relevant to dietary supplements during this time, led by the National Cancer Institute and one of the newest NIH ICs, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. CARDS data indicate that NIH-funded dietary supplement research from FY 1999 through 2002 involved primarily vitamins, minerals, botanicals and phytochemicals. Cancer and cardiovascular disease, two of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in the United States, collectively accounted for almost 45% of the research related to dietary supplements. A variety of types of research studies were funded, with the majority consisting of human intervention studies. This information is useful to evaluate trends in federally funded dietary supplement research, identify research gaps, and help research scientists identify potential sources of NIH funding.
