- Abstract
- We aimed to investigate the association between dairy product consumption and the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Korean adults. Data from 13,692 Korean adults aged >= 19 years from the KNHANES 2010-2013 were used. The study participants were divided into three groups according to the serving size of dairy products they consumed based on a single 24-h recall. About 58% of the Korean adults did not consume any dairy products in one day. In both the sexes, only those who adhered to the recommendation for dairy products (>= 1 serving/day) achieved the daily requirement of calcium. Women who consumed >= 1 serving/day of dairy products had lower risks of obesity (body mass index >= 25 kg/m(2)) (adjusted odds ratio (AOR), 0.77; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.66-0.89; p for trend < 0.01) and MetS (AOR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.56-0.80; p for trend < 0.01) than women who did not consume dairy products. However, these significant associations were not observed in men. In conclusion, consuming >= 1 serving/day of dairy products could be an easy and efficient strategy for meeting daily calcium requirement as well as lowering risks of obesity and MetS among Korean women.
