Abstract
A segment of our research was focused on examining the impact of the frequency of milk
and dairy products’ (MDP) consumption on bone mineral density (BMD) of Macedonian female
population. BMD was measured by DEXA-densitometer in 210 females at the Public Institution
“Borka Taleski” in Prilep and a Questionnaire about their dietary habits was performed. Females
were categorized into 3 groups according to MDP consumption: those who consume MDP on a daily
base; 3 - 5times/week; or 1 - 2 times/ week, and those who did not consume MDP were a reference
category. Data analysis was performed by multiple regression analysis (R), while the significance was
determined by p<0.05. The results indicated that daily consumption of milk and dairy products was
most beneficial for BMD of the females, then 3 - 5 times/ week, and the worst impact on BMD was
present in females of 1 - 2 times/ week MDP consumption. Females on a daily MDP consumption had
in average 0.17 g/cm2 significantly higher BMD as compared to non consumers. Females of 3 - 5
times / week MDP consumption had an average 0.08 g/cm2 significantly higher BMD as compared to
non consumers. Females of 1 - 2 times/ week MDP consumption had 0.02 g /cm2 insignificantly lower
BMD as compared to non consumers. The results strongly suggest that daily and /or 3 - 5 times/ week
MDP consumption had a significant positive effect on BMD of females and can be considered as a
natural benefactor in osteoporosis prevention.
