This review aims to examine the relationship between the consumption of dairy products, mineral absorption, and bone health, and critically evaluates the methods that have been used to investigate this relationship. As people live longer and have lives that are more active in modern societies, bone health is of concern due to the possibility for the increasing incidence of bone disorders, such as osteoporosis. It has been suggested that dairy products can play a key role in bone health due to their high levels of minerals. Whether the positive effect of dairy consumption on bone health is due solely to the concentration of minerals, the action of vitamins, proteins, and lipids present in dairy products, and complex interactions between different milk components remains to be determined. Assessment of how dairy products affect bone health is complex, with apparent contradictory conclusions being reported in the literature. To gain a better understanding of the effects that dairy products have on bone health, this review presents an evaluation of a combination of data obtained using a variety of methods. From those data, we surmise that the preferable approach to investigate the effects of milk on bone health is to obtain data from human, animal, and cell line testing. A combined approach will enable various aspects to be identified, including mechanisms and the assessment of holistic effects, which will enable the effects in the human situation to be ascertained.

乳制品矿物质对骨骼健康有积极影响吗？

这篇综述旨在检查乳制品消费，矿物质吸收和骨骼健康之间的关系，并严格评估用于研究这种关系的方法。随着人们寿命的延长和生活在现代社会中更加活跃，由于骨骼疾病（例如骨质疏松症）的发病率可能增加，因此骨骼健康受到关注。已经提出，由于乳制品中的矿物质含量高，它们可以在骨骼健康中发挥关键作用。食用乳制品对骨骼健康的积极影响是否仅是由于矿物质的浓度，乳制品中存在的维生素，蛋白质和脂质的作用以及不同乳成分之间复杂的相互作用所致。对乳制品如何影响骨骼健康的评估非常复杂，文献中报道了明显矛盾的结论。为了更好地了解乳制品对骨骼健康的影响，本文对使用多种方法获得的数据进行了评估。从这些数据中，我们推测研究牛奶对骨骼健康的影响的首选方法是从人，动物和细胞系测试中获取数据。结合使用的方法将能够确定各个方面，包括机制和整体影响的评估，这将能够确定对人类状况的影响。这篇综述对使用多种方法获得的数据组合进行了评估。从这些数据中，我们推测研究牛奶对骨骼健康的影响的首选方法是从人，动物和细胞系测试中获取数据。结合使用的方法将能够确定各个方面，包括机制和整体影响的评估，这将能够确定对人类状况的影响。这篇综述对使用多种方法获得的数据组合进行了评估。从这些数据中，我们推测研究牛奶对骨骼健康的影响的首选方法是从人，动物和细胞系测试中获取数据。结合使用的方法将能够确定各个方面，包括机制和整体影响的评估，这将能够确定对人类状况的影响。
