Systematic Review Question

What is the relationship between the intake of milk and milk products and bone health?

Conclusion Statement

Moderate evidence indicates that the intake of milk and milk products is linked to improved bone health in children. Limited evidence suggests a positive relationship between the intake of milk and milk products and bone health in adults, but results are inconsistent due to variability in outcomes considered.
