摘要:Emerging research suggests a potential protective role for dairy foods and/or
dairy food nutrients (e.g., calcium, vitamin D) in metabolic syndrome and type 2
diabetes. Metabolic syndrome is generally diagnosed when three of the following
five metabolic disorders are present: elevated fasting glucose, low high density
lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, high triglyceride levels, abdominal obesity, and
hypertension. Persons with metabolic syndrome are at risk for type 2 diabetes
and cardiovascular disease. Metabolic syndrome is reported to affect more than
one-third of U.S. adults and this syndrome is being diagnosed more frequently
among children and adolescents.
