Background: Korean milk consumption and low-fat milk
sales are steadily increasing. The purpose of this study
was to examine the association of metabolic syndrome
according to the type of milk.
Methods: The subjects included 5,553 persons who aged 19
to 64 years, from the data of the Korea National
Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2013-
2015. All subjects were divided by intake of type of
milk that are 'whole milk intake group', 'low-fat milk intake
group' and 'no milk intake group'. And the subects
were classified as 19-39 years old and 40-64 years old. In
order to check differences of demo-sociographic
characteristics and metabolic risk factors in three groups,
the data was analyzed by chi-square test, t-test and
binary logistic regression analysis.
Results: For subjects aged 40-64, whole milk intake group
had lower relevance with metabolic syndrome than
no milk intake group (odds ratio [OR] 0.807, P=0.035, 95%
confidence interval [CI] 0.660-0.985). But low fat
milk intake group was't relevant (OR 0.879, P=0.350, 95%
CI 0.670-1.152). Looking at the 19-39 year-old subjects,
whole milk and low fat milk intake group were not associated
with metaboic syndrome (OR 1.023,
P=0.911, 95% CI 0.686-1.525; OR 1.547, P=0.103, 95% CI
0.915-2.617).
Conclusions: The results of this study show that whole milk
intake is less relevant to the metabolic syndrome
than no milk intake. Low fat milk intake was not relevant.
More researches are needed to determine the effects
of low fat milk and whole milk on metabolic syndrome.
