Scientists at Erasmus University in Rotterdam (Netherlands) have developed a model to estimate the potential impact of dairy foods on the costs linked to osteoporosis. Their model is based on the hip fractures that could potentially be prevented through a higher intake of dairy products.
The results show that an increased intake of dairy products by one portion a day could potentially reduce the costs associated with hip fractures by €129 million in France, €34 million in Sweden and €6 million in the Netherlands.
