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 effects of increased dietary protein yogurt snack in the afternoon on appetite control and eating initiation in healthy women
Background A large portion of daily intake comes from snacking . One of the increasingly common , healthier snacks includes Greek-style yogurt , which is typically higher in protein than regular yogurt . This study evaluated whether a 160 kcal higher-protein ( HP ) Greek-style yogurt snack  improves appetite control , satiety , and delays subsequent eating compared to an isocaloric normal protein ( NP ) regular yogurt in healthy women . This study also identified the factors that predict the onset of eating . Findings Thirty-two healthy women ( age : 27 ± 2y ; BMI : 23.0 ± 0.4 kg/m2 ) completed the acute , r and omized crossover- design study . On separate days , participants came to our facility to consume a st and ardized lunch followed by the consumption of the NP ( 5.0 g protein ) or HP ( 14.0 g protein ) yogurt at 3 h post-lunch . Perceived hunger and fullness were assessed throughout the afternoon until dinner was voluntarily requested ; ad libitum dinner was then provided . Snacking led to reductions in hunger and increases in fullness . No differences in post-snack perceived hunger or fullness were observed between the NP and HP yogurt snacks . Dinner was voluntarily requested at approximately 2:40 ± 0:05 h post-snack with no differences between the HP vs. NP yogurts . Ad libitum dinner intake was not different between the snacks ( NP : 686 ± 33 kcal vs. HP : 709 ± 34 kcal ; p = 0.324 ) . In identifying key factors that predict eating initiation , perceived hunger , fullness , and habitual dinner time accounted for 30 % of the variability of time to dinner request ( r = 0.55 ; p < 0.001 ) . Conclusions The additional 9 g of protein contained in the high protein Greek yogurt was insufficient to elicit protein-related improvements in markers of energy intake regulation
