The study showed that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is significantly lower among subjects with the highest levels of milk and yoghurt consumption. The analysis revealed that a high milk intake is associated with a lower risk of developing abdominal obesity and high fasting blood glucose levels.
Meanwhile, a high yoghurt intake is associated with a lower risk of low HDL cholesterol. There is also a significant link between a high milk or yoghurt intake and a lower risk of metabolic syndrome (30% lower, odds ratio = 0.71).
