Background and Objectives: Debates on the effects of milk fat on individuals' metabolic well-being and susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases have been a long-standing issue in scholarly investigations. In this study, a cross-sectional analysis was carried out to assess relationships of milk fat content with lipid and anthropometry in adult men.
Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional analysis included a sample of 1,805 men from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey NHANES 2015-2016 data. To identify associations between the milk fat content and outcome of lipid and anthropometric, three various regression models were used that adjusted for confounders.
Results: Adult men, who consumed milk containing 3.25% fat, had a higher risk of high body mass index and circumference waist, compared to those consuming 0–1% fat, based on the fully adjusted model (OR: 1.49, CI: 1.18–1.89; and OR: 1.34, CI: 1.09–1.66, respectively). Furthermore, adult males, who consumed milk containing 3.25% fat, had lower odds of high TC levels and TC/HDL-C ratio (OR: 0.71, CI: 0.56–0.88 and OR: 0.70, CI: 0.54–0.89, respectively). The odds probability of having high LDL-C and non-HDL-C was lower only with the consumption of 2% fat milk, compared to 1% fat milk (OR: 0.57, CI: 0.36–0.89; and OR: 0.74, CI: 0.55–0.99, respectively).
Conclusion: This cross-sectional analysis showed upper odds of high BMI and waist circumference and lower odds of atherogenic lipids in adult men, who consumed whole fat milk, compared to those consuming non/low-fat milk. |
