Dairy product consumption and hypertension risk in a prospective French cohort of women.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Among potentially modifiable factors, dairy product consumption has been inconsistently associated with hypertension risk. The objective of this study was to investigate the relation between dairy product consumption and the risk of hypertension among middle-aged women.

Methods

Consumptions of milk, yogurt, and types of cheese were assessed at baseline using a validated dietary questionnaire.
