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 .
Protective effect of yoghurt consumption on Helicobacter pylori seropositivity in a Mexican population.
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to determine the relationship between fermented and unfermented dairy product consumption and Helicobacter pylori seropositivity in a Mexican population . DESIGN Dietary interviews were conducted as part of a population -based case-control study in 2005 . Serum was obtained for each participant to determine H. pylori seropositivity status . Adjusted odds ratios were estimated from multivariate logistic regression models . SETTING Mexico City , Mexico . SUBJECTS A r and om sample of 464 healthy adult residents . RESULTS The overall seroprevalence of H. pylori in the study sample was 75.4 % . In fully adjusted models , compared with those who did not consume yoghurt , there was a protective effect of eating up to one serving per week of yoghurt and more than one serving per week of yoghurt ( odds ratio ( OR ) = 0.57 , 95 % confidence interval ( CI ) 0.35 - 0.94 and OR = 0.45 , 95 % CI 0.24 - 0.86 , respectively ) , with a P for trend of 0.01 . There were no effects for the consumption of unfermented dairy products ( milk and cheese ) . CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that yoghurt consumption may have a protective effect against H. pylori seropositivity . Additional studies are needed to determine whether consumption of yoghurt or other fermented dairy products can prevent or eradicate H. pylori infection
