“…Moreover, proportionately more Hispanic and non-Hispanic white women of childbearing age reported consuming dairy products daily than do non-Hispanic blacks. Non-Hispanic black women reporting lower rates of dairy consumption is consistent with recent data on U.S. population reports of lactose intolerance (8). That study found that 76% of adults reporting to be lactose intolerant were female, and among females, 50% were non-Hispanic black, 30% non-Hispanic white, and 20% Hispanic.…”

“…In the United States approximately 60% of iodine consumed comes from dairy products. The iodine is added to dairy products as a consequence of iodine added to cattle feed (6), or use of iodophor disinfectants in the milking process (7,8). Iodized salt accounts for a small amount of dietary iodine.…”

“…Use of iodized salt has declined with increasing attention to reducing salt consumption. Milk and milk products, an important source of iodine, may be avoided or not tolerated because of lactase deficiency, which is relatively common in the non-Hispanic black population [21]. We found that, in general, the median UI for US women of childbearing age was lower than the WHO cutoff point of 150 µg/l (fig.…”

Background: Iodine intake is essential for normal growth, development and metabolism throughout life, especially for women during gestation and lactation. The present study applies a novel statistical approach, providing smoothed urinary iodine (UI) percentile curves for the total US population as well as the categories of sex, race/ethnicity, women of childbearing age and pregnant women who were participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2001-2010. To our knowledge, this is the first application of this technique to NHANES nutritional biomarker data. Methods: We used UI and urinary creatinine that were measured in participants aged 6 and older in the NHANES survey periods 2001-2002, 2003-2004, 2005-2006, 2007-2008 and 2009-2010. A nonparametric double-kernel method was applied to smooth percentile curves for UI and creatinine-corrected results. Results: The UI population estimates showed a U-shaped distribution by age for the total US population. Overall, females had lower UI concentrations and median values compared to males (median UI for females, 141.8 µg/l; median UI for males, 176.1 µg/l; p < 0.0001). Non-Hispanic blacks had the lowest median UI concentrations compared to other racial/ethnic groups (p < 0.0001). Among women of childbearing age (15-44 years), UI concentrations mostly declined with increasing age. Pregnant women aged 35 years and older tended to have higher UI concentrations than younger pregnant women at similar percentiles. Conclusions: The smoothed reference distribution of UI concentrations provides an improved and visual display of the entire distribution of values for the US population and specific demographic categories.

“…Despite the increased consumption of whole grains, refined grains may be the traditional source of carbohydrates for and are preferably consumed by older Mexican Americans (10). This inverse relationship between dairy score and age may be partially due to older people’s misconception about lactose intolerance, which may result in lower dairy intakes (11). Regarding the association between sodium and age, previous research suggested mixed results (10,12).…”

Role of Age and Acculturation in Diet Quality Among Mexican Americans — Findings From the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 1999–2012

Age and acculturation may play a role in diet quality among Mexican Americans. This study examined diet quality in Mexican Americans by age and whether acculturation influences diet quality across different age groups, using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES). Diet quality, measured by the Healthy Eating Index 2010, improved with age except in categories of dairy, sodium, and refined grains. More acculturation was associated with lower scores in overall diet quality and categories of vegetables, fruits, and sodium and empty calories across almost all ages, but higher scores in grain categories, especially in younger groups. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables but low in fat and sodium should be promoted among more acculturated Mexican Americans, and whole-grain foods should be promoted among young but less acculturated Mexican Americans.

Self-perceived lactose intolerance results in lower intakes of calcium and dairy foods and is associated with hypertension and diabetes in adults

Abstract: Self-perceived lactose-intolerant respondents had a significantly lower calcium intake from dairy foods and reported having a significantly higher rate of physician-diagnosed diabetes and hypertension.
