NEW YORK (MedscapeWire) Apr 26 There may be new truth to the slogan that milk does a body good, at least if that body is overweight. Results from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study linking dairy intake to reduced risk of insulin resistance syndrome (IRS) are reported in the April 24 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association.
"Our study suggests that dietary patterns characterized by increased dairy consumption may protect overweight individuals from the development of obesity and IRS, which are key risk factors for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease," write Mark A. Pereira, PhD, of Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues.
This population-based, multicenter prospective study involved 3157 black and white adults aged 18 to 30 years followed in the CARDIA study from 1985-1986 to 1995-1996.
