Abstract The associations between frequency of low fat, high fat and total dairy consumption and metabolic syndrome (MS) occurrence were determined. In a cross-sectional survey, 9660 randomly chosen adults aged ≥19 years were selected in three districts of central Iran in 2007. Nutrition behaviours were assessed with a food frequency questionnaire. Anthropometric, blood pressure and biochemical measurement were collected. This study showed that the total dairy intake was inversely related to MS occurrence after full adjustment [odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 0.84 (0.70–0.96); P = 0.04]. However, there were no significant associations between low and high fat dairy and the occurrence of MS after full adjustment. Total dairy intake had an inverse association with systolic blood pressure, waist circumference and triglyceride and positive relationship with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Further well-designed randomised clinical trials on the effect of a variety of dairy products on MS need to be conducted.

伊朗成年人口的乳制品和代谢综合征：伊斯法罕健康心脏计划

摘要 确定了低脂、高脂频率与乳制品总摄入量和代谢综合征 (MS) 发生之间的关联。在横断面调查中，2007 年在伊朗中部的三个地区随机选择了 9660 名 19 岁以上的成年人。通过食物频率问卷评估了营养行为。收集人体测量学、血压和生化测量值。本研究表明，在完全调整后，乳制品总摄入量与 MS 发生呈负相关 [优势比（95% 置信区间）0.84 (0.70–0.96)；P = 0.04]。然而，在完全调整后，低脂和高脂乳制品与 MS 的发生之间没有显着关联。乳制品的总摄入量与收缩压呈负相关，腰围和甘油三酯与高密度脂蛋白胆固醇呈正相关。需要对各种乳制品对 MS 的影响进行进一步精心设计的随机临床试验。
