Objectives. This study investigated the factors associated with vegetarian dietary habits in Taiwanese adults. Methods. A secondary data analysis was conducted using the datafile from the 2009 National Health Interview Survey. The dependent variable was long-term vegetarian dietary habits. Logistic regression analyses were used to evaluate the association between long-term vegetarian dietary habits and various independent factors. Results. The weighted sample consisted of 17,351 individuals and of whom 573 (3.3%) had long-term vegetarian dietary habits.
