    RE: Association between dairy intake and fracture in an Australian-based cohort of women: a prospective study

    Aslam et al. conducted a prospective study to assess the association between milk/total dairy consumption and major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) in women (1). The authors handled women aged ≥50 years, and MOFs (hip, forearm, clinical spine and proximal humerus) were confirmed radiologically. Consuming >500 mL/d of milk was not significantly associated with increased HR for MOF. In addition, adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence intervals [CIs]) of Non-milk drinkers against drinkers consuming <250 mL/d of milk and consumption of ≥800 g/d total dairy against 200-399 g/d of total dairy for MOF were 1.56 (0.99 to 2.46) and 1.70 (0.99 to 2.93), respectively. They concluded that there was a trend for increased MOF in women with zero milk and higher total dairy consumption. I want to present results from recent meta-analyses.

    Malmir et al. summarized the association of milk and dairy intake with risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture (2). There was an inverse relationship of milk and dairy intake with risk of osteoporosis and hip fracture in cross-sectional and case-control studies. By meta-regression analysis, every additional 200-gram intake of dairy and milk were associated with a 22% and 37% reduced risk of osteoporosis, respectively. In addition, milk consumption was associated with a 25% reduced risk of hip fracture. In contrast, the significance disappeared in cohort studies, and a greater intake of milk and dairy products did not reduce the risk of osteo...
