The prevalence rate of obesity is increasing gradually in the world. Obesity is a
factor affecting many metabolic abnormalities. Diabetes correlates closely with
obesity. The rise of the concept of preventive medicine has led to an increase in the
range of applications of health foods to metabolic diseases. Proanthocyanidins
extracted from plants are known to have antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-hyperglycemia,
anti-radiation and prevention of cardiovascular disease and other functions. In order to
understand the public awareness of the impact of anthocyanins on improving blood
sugar, blood lipid regulation and antioxidant factors, the study was performed by used
a questionnaire, hoping to provide a reference for the development of new health
food.
The results showed that over 80% of 326 subjects knew the sources of
anthocyanins and knew that anthocyanins cleared free radicals to prevent the body,
the aging of the brain and the cancer. About 70% subjects think that anthocyanidins
can regulate blood sugar and blood lipid, prevent atheroma and anti-inflammation.
However, the monthly income of individual background variables, who have chronic
diseases, have heard of anthocyanins and weekly consumption of purple, purple and
blue (only one can) average number of fruits and vegetables are used to make the
subjects have different of anthocyanin awareness; anthocyanin anthocyanins and
anthocyanin performance of those who use to promote their health awareness were
significantly higher than those who did not take anthocyanins health food behavior. In
addition, the educational background of personal background, the monthly income
and anthocyanins and their promotion of health function awareness has a low
correlation.
