Introduction and Objective: Milk and dairy products constitute an essential part of the diet with significant direct impacts on human health. They may be associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), a relationship examined during the enrollment phase of the Dena Cohorat Study.
Study Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study is a subset of the adult cohort of Dena County in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province, southwest Iran. It is one of the 18 regions under the Persian Cohort Study in Iran, involving 3,630 participants aged 35 to 70 years. The study aimed to investigate the association between dairy product consumption and cardiovascular diseases (hypertension (HT), ischemic heart disease (IHD), and stroke (HA)) through demographic data assessment, a clinical questionnaire on CVDs, and a dietary frequency questionnaire focusing on dairy consumption.
Findings: The daily consumption (gr/day) of yogurt, cheese, flavored milk, high-fat products (butter, cream, and full-fat milk), ice cream, and margarine was significantly higher in individuals without HT compared to those with hypertension (P-value < 0.05). Individuals with IHD significantly consumed more yogurt compared to non-IHD individuals (P-value < 0.05). Moreover, it was observed that flavored milk, high-fat products, ice cream, and margarine were significantly consumed more by individuals without ischemic heart disease compared to those with this condition (P-value < 0.05). The daily consumption of high-fat products was higher in individuals with stroke compared to those without (P-value < 0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that higher dairy product consumption overall is associated with a reduced risk of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. However, conclusions regarding the isolated association of each dairy product with cardiovascular diseases require further investigation.
