Abstract

Background: Milk is long being known to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and potentially beneficial for bone health particularly among Iranian populations where consumption of dairy production is low. Objective: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the physiological effect of milk consumption on bone mass density (BMD) and prevention of osteoporosis in adult girls. Methods: This investigation was performed on twenty non-athlete thin and obese girls. BMD and blood parameters were measured by routine laboratory tests at the beginning and two months later. Both groups received two glasses of semi-skimmed milk (1.5% fat 600 mg/dl calcium) three times a week for a total duration of 2 months.
