Dairy products consumption among adults and determining the attributable population risk of some common non-communicable diseases; a population based cross sectional study

Abstract

Background:  During the last decade, the consumption of dairy products in Iranian households has decreased. The purpose of this study was to determine the population attributable risk of dairy products to common non-communicable diseases.

Methods: This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted on 628 adults over 18 years old in Hamadan city in 2021. The clusters were selected based on comprehensive urban health centers. The standardized Iranian version of the food frequency questionnaire was used. To categorize participants, we used three levels of dairy product consumption: no consumption, less than one serving per day, 1-2 servings per day and >2 servings per day.

Results: The participation rate was 89%. The mean (standard deviation) of age was 38.05 (12.54) and 42.36% of participants were male. Forty-nine percent of people mentioned insufficient consumption of dairy products. Cheese (54.5%), yogurt (39.7%), and milk (30.4%) had the highest frequency of daily consumption. Women had a higher consumption of dairy products than men (56% vs. 44%, P=0.037). People with university education had a higher probability of dairy product consumption (OR=2.61, P=0.140).

Conclusions: The prevalence of insufficient consumption of dairy products was 48.6%, which is higher compared to previous studies.  Insufficient consumption of dairy products was the explainer of hypertension (9.26%), cardiovascular (5.55%), and (5.07%) osteoporosis.
