Buendia JR, et al. - Researchers examined participants from two Nurses’ Health Study cohorts (NHS, n=69,298), NHS II (n=84,368) and the Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS, n=30,512), to assess the link between yogurt consumption as well as cheese, milk, and total dairy, and high blood pressure (HBP). NHS, NHS II, and HPFS participants were followed for incident HBP for up to 30, 20, and 24 years, respectively. They used time-dependent multivariate-adjusted Cox proportional hazards models to calculate hazard ratios. Using fixed effects meta-analyses, pooled risk estimates were derived. They found a lower risk of incident HBP related to higher total dairy intake, particularly yogurt, in middle-aged and older adult men and women.
