For studies of a similar design and which assessed the same outcomes in similar population groups , we report the potential for the combining of data across studies in systematic review s. CONCLUSIONS This scoping review has revealed the extensive evidence base for many outcomes which could be the focus of systematic review s exploring the health effects of conventional yogurt consumption
BACKGROUND The health effects of conventional yogurt have been investigated for over a century ; however , few systematic review s have been conducted to assess the extent of the health benefits of yogurt .
OBJECTIVE The aim of this scoping review was to assess the volume of available evidence on the health effects of conventional yogurt .
The association between dairy food intake and the incidence of diabetes in Australia: the Australian Diabetes Obesity and Lifestyle Study (AusDiab).
OBJECTIVE Several studies have suggested that dairy food may reduce the risk of obesity and metabolic abnormalities but few have been able to conclusively demonstrate that it reduces the risk of diabetes . The aim of the present analysis was to investigate if dairy food intake independently reduces the risk of diabetes . DESIGN The Australian Diabetes Obesity and Lifestyle Study ( AusDiab ) is a national , population -based , prospect i ve survey conducted over 5 years . Baseline measurements included a 121-item FFQ , anthropometrics and an oral glucose tolerance test . SETTING Forty-two r and omly selected clusters across Australia . SUBJECTS Adults aged ≥25 years who participated in the baseline survey and returned to follow-up 5 years later . RESULTS A total of 5582 participants with complete data were eligible for analysis , 209 of whom had incident diabetes . Compared with men in the first tertile of dairy food intake , men in the third tertile had a significantly reduced risk of developing diabetes after adjustment for age , sex , total energy intake , family history of diabetes , education , physical activity , smoking status , fasting serum TAG and HDL cholesterol , systolic blood pressure , waist circumference and hip circumference ( OR = 0·53 , 95 % CI 0·29 , 0·96 ; P = 0·033 ) . A similar non-significant association was observed in women . CONCLUSIONS Dietary patterns that incorporate high intakes of dairy food may reduce the risk of diabetes among men . Further investigation into the relationship between dairy food intake and diabetes needs to be undertaken to fully underst and the potential mechanism of this observation
