Cardiometabolic Effects of Low-Fat and Full-Fat Dairy
18. mai 2026 oppdatert av: Kristina Petersen PhD, APD, FAHA, Penn State University
Cardiometabolic Effects of Low-Fat and Full-Fat Dairy in Healthy and Cardiometabolically At-Risk Adults
The purpose of this study is to find out if full-fat dairy and low-fat dairy have similar effects on risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
During the study, participants will consume two types of dairy products: low-fat dairy (milk, yogurt, and cheese) and full-fat dairy (milk, yogurt, and cheese).
Each type of dairy will be consumed for 6 weeks with a ≥4-week break between.
Measures will be taken to evaluate blood cholesterol, blood sugar, body weight, inflammation, blood pressure, heart health and dietary intake at the beginning and end of each 6 week period.

Detaljert beskrivelse
The overarching goal of this clinical trial is to characterize and compare the effect of full-fat dairy to low-fat dairy on low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and other cardiometabolic disease (CMD) risk factors in healthy adults and those at risk for CMD. This goal will be achieved with the following objectives:
- Characterize the effect of full-fat dairy compared to low-fat dairy on LDL-C and other CMD risk factors in healthy adults and adults at risk for CMD after 6 weeks.
- Compare the effect of full-fat dairy to low-fat dairy in healthy adults vs. adults at risk for CMD after 6 weeks.
This clinical trial will test two hypotheses: 1) intake of 3 cup-equivalents/day of full-fat dairy (milk, yogurt & cheese) has equivalent effects on LDL-C and other CMD risk factors to 3 cup-equivalents/day of low-fat dairy (milk, yogurt & cheese) in adults with normal BMI and optimal/near optimal LDL-C, and in adults with overweight/obesity and elevated LDL-C after 6 weeks; 2) the effect of full-fat dairy on LDL-C and other CMD risk factors, compared to low-fat dairy, is equivalent in adults with normal BMI and optimal/near optimal LDL-C compared to adults with overweight/obesity and elevated LDL-C after 6 weeks. This trial is expected to demonstrate equivalent effects of full-fat and low-fat dairy on LDL-C and other CMD risk factors in both healthy and at-risk adults.
This is a randomized clinical trial with 2 groups of adults. Group 1 will include adults with normal BMI (18.5 -24.9 kg/m2) and optimal/near optimal LDL-C (≤ 129 mg/dL). Group 2 will include adults with overweight/obesity (25-39.9 kg/m2) and elevated LDL-C (130-190 mg/dL). Within each group, subjects will undergo two 6-week dietary conditions in random sequence order, separated by a 4-week washout: 1) 3 cup-equivalents/day of full-fat dairy; 2) 3 cup-equivalents/day of low-fat dairy. Outcomes will be assessed at the start and end of each period.
