Increased dairy intake could protect overweight adults from developing insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), thus reducing their risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Evaluation of participants in a prospective, population-based study in the United States, the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study, indicates dairy consumption is inversely associated with incidence of all IRS components among overweight adults.

This association was not observed among leaner study participants, say researchers from Harvard Medical School and Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts; the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis; Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois and the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, United States.

Research indicates obesity, insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia cause glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, hypertension and impaired fibrinolytic capacity. Age-adjusted prevalence of IRS (also called metabolic syndrome or syndrome X) among US adults is estimated at 24 percent.
