Good intake of dairy products could improve bone health of older adults, finds a new study. The dairy products seem to have a beneficial effect on men over age 50.

In women, researchers found no significant results except for a positive association of cream intake in the cross-sectional area of the bone. Study participants included 1,522 men and 1,104 women from the Framingham Study, aged 32-81 years. Researchers examined quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measures of bone to determine associations with dairy intake.
Shivani Sahni, Ph.D., Director Nutrition Program and Associate Scientist at IFAR and senior author of the study said, "This study related dairy intake with QCT- derived bone measures, which are unique because they provide information on bone geometry and compartment-specific bone density that are key determinants of bone strength.
