  1. Hazard ratio (95% CI) for developing an undesirable level of BMI, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, or blood pressure over the 8–12 year follow-up period and increasing quintile groups (Q1 to Q5) for intake of dairy products. Q1, lowest intake, is the reference category. Statistically significant p-values are in superscript
  2. aCrude models with sex, age and dairy quintiles were tested and HRs were not statistically significant. The adjusted models included sex, age at follow-up, education, year at follow-up, BMI at follow up, physical activity at baseline and follow-up, mean intake of fruits and vegetables and energy over the follow-up period and dairy group. The models with overweight did not include BMI, and models including S-cholesterol or S-triglyceride were also adjusted for if the analyses were performed before or after the change of laboratory analyses methods
  3. bQ1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5 median values (servings/day) are for all dairy products 1.6, 2.8, 3.9, 5.1, 7.1; for non-fermented milk 0.08, 0.58, 1.0, 1.4, 2.5; for fermented milk 0.006, 0.16, 0.36, 0.78, 1.1; for cheese 0.14, 0.36, 0.78, 1.0, 2.5; and for butter 0.003, 0.15, 1.0, 2.5, 3.2
