“…An inverse relationship between a healthy dietary pattern and risk of general and central adiposity was also indicated in a study among Iranian women (Esmaillzadeh and Azadbakht, 2008). Other studies (Azizi et al, 2005;Azadbakht et al, 2005) found that dietary pattern characterized by low-fat dairy products, grains and fruits was inversely associated with changes in waist circumference and BMI in women.…”

Nutritional status and dietary intake play a significant role in the prognosis of breast cancer and may modify the progression of disease. The aim of this study was to determine the influence of nutritional status on the quality of life of Iranian breast cancer survivors. Cross-sectional data were collected for 100 Iranian breast cancer survivors, aged 32 to 61 years, attending the oncology outpatient clinic at Golestan Hospital, Ahvaz, Iran. Nutritional status of subjects was assessed by anthropometric measurements, Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA) and three non-consecutive 24-hour diet recalls. The European Organization of Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life form (EORTC QLQ-C30) was used to assess quality of life. Ninety-four percent of the survivors were well-nourished, 6% were moderately malnourished or suspected of being malnourished while none were severely malnourished. Prevalence of overweight and obesity was 86%. Overall, participants had an inadequate intake of vitamin D, E, iron and magnesium according to dietary reference intake (DRI) recommendations. Survivors with better nutritional status had better functioning scales and experienced fewer clinical symptoms. It appears important to provide educational and nutritional screening programs to improve cancer survivor quality of life.

“…Azadbakht et al [1] showed that subjects in the highest quartile of dairy consumption (milk, yogurt, cheese, and milk-based-desserts) had lower odds of having enlarged waist circumference, hypertension, and MetS. Likewise, in the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study, Pereira et al [8] found that among individuals (aged 18-30 years) who were overweight at baseline, dairy consumption was inversely associated with the incidence of obesity, abnormal glucose homeostasis, dyslipidemia, and hypertension over the next 10 years.…”

“…Cardiometabolic risk is characterized by a cluster of risk factors that includes obesity, abnormal glucose homeostasis, dyslipidemia, and hypertension [1] and [2]. In adults, the positive association between the clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors and cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes is clearly established, and a similar relationship has been described in children and adolescents [3] and [4].…”

“…In this context, scientific investigation has focused on understanding the role of diet in the development of cardiometabolic risk. It has been proposed that the intake of dairy products protects against cardiometabolic risk or several of its risk factors [1], [7] and [8]. Evidence, mostly in adults, has indicated that increased dairy intake may decrease the risk of high blood pressure (BP) [8] and [9], central obesity [10] and [11], and hyperinsulinemia [12].…”

Epidemiologic studies have reported an inverse association between dairy product consumption and cardiometabolic risk factors in adults, but this relation is relatively unexplored in adolescents. We hypothesized that a higher dairy product intake is associated with lower cardiometabolic risk factor clustering in adolescents. To test this hypothesis, a cross-sectional study was conducted with 494 adolescents aged 15 to 18 years from the Azorean Archipelago, Portugal. We measured fasting glucose, insulin, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, body fat, and cardiorespiratory fitness. We also calculated homeostatic model assessment and total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. For each one of these variables, a z score was computed using age and sex. A cardiometabolic risk score (CMRS) was constructed by summing up the z scores of all individual risk factors. High risk was considered to exist when an individual had at least 1 SD from this score. Diet was evaluated using a food frequency questionnaire, and the intake of total dairy (included milk, yogurt, and cheese), milk, yogurt, and cheese was categorized as low (equal to or below the median of the total sample) or "appropriate" (above the median of the total sample).The association between dairy product intake and CMRS was evaluated using separate logistic regression, and the results were adjusted for confounders. Adolescents with high milk intake had lower CMRS, compared with those with low intake (10.6% vs 18.1%, P = .018). Adolescents with appropriate milk intake were less likely to have high CMRS than those with low milk intake (odds ratio, 0.531; 95% confidence interval, 0.302-0.931). No association was found between CMRS and total dairy, yogurt, and cheese intake. Only milk intake seems to be inversely related to CMRS in adolescents.

“…Some investigations have reported the relationship between consumption of vegetable oils (21) , red meat (22) , fruits and vegetables (23,24) and soya (25) with inflammatory biomarkers, but we are aware of no study evaluating the association between dairy consumption and circulating levels of inflammatory markers. On the other hand, recent studies have shown an inverse relationship between dairy consumption and metabolic abnormalities, such as obesity (26)(27)(28) , diabetes (29,30) , metabolic syndrome (31,32) and insulin resistance (33) , but the mechanisms have not been fully understood. Dairy products are a rich source of Ca; a nutrient seems to be responsible for dairy's beneficial effect (34) .…”

Objective: Although recent studies have shown an inverse relationship between dairy consumption and metabolic abnormalities, we are aware of no study evaluating the association between dairy consumption and circulating levels of inflammatory markers. The current study was undertaken to assess the association between the consumption of high-fat and low-fat dairy products and circulating levels of inflammatory markers among Tehrani women aged 40-60 years. Design: In a cross-sectional study of 486 apparently healthy women aged 40-60 years, we assessed usual dietary intakes by means of an FFQ. Anthropometric measurements were made and fasting blood samples were taken for measuring inflammatory markers. Results: The reported mean (SD) daily intake of low-and high-fat dairy consumption was 85 (SD 23) and 101 (SD 29) g/d, respectively. After control for age, BMI, waist circumference and other potential confounders, low-fat dairy consumption was inversely associated with C-reactive protein (b 5 20.04), IL-6 (b 5 20.02) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (b 5 20.06); with further adjustment for dietary intakes, the associations remained significant just for soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (b 5 20.03). High-fat dairy intake was positively associated with log-transformed values of serum amyloid A (b 5 0.08) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (b 5 0.05), both before and after adjustment for all potential confounding variables. No overall significant associations were found between total dairy consumption and inflammation. Conclusions: The current study indicates an independent relationship between high-fat as well as low-fat dairy consumption, not total dairy intake, and some markers of inflammation and endothelial dysfunction. Further studies are required to identify responsible components of dairy products and related mechanisms of action. Keywords Dairy consumption Inflammation Cardiovascular risk factors Endothelial dysfunctionInflammation has been postulated to have a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of many chronic conditions, such as obesity, CVD, diabetes and metabolic syndrome (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . Harvard investigators (6) have introduced inflammation as a key driver of these chronic conditions. Circulating levels of inflammatory markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and TNF-a are considered to be involved in the development of ischaemic events (7,8) . Moreover, recent evidence supports the association between inflammation and endothelial dysfunction (9) . Overall, these data indicate that identifying determinants of markers of systemic inflammation and endothelial dysfunction is of great importance in the field of cardiology. The exact underlying factors of elevated circulating levels of inflammatory markers remain to be identified. Although recent studies have reported obesity (10) , smoking (11) , hypercholesterolaemia (12) and physical inactivity (13) as major predictors of inflammation, data on dietary determinants of circulating levels of inflammatory biomarkers are sca...
