The purpose of this study was to evaluate serum lipid levels in Korean adults after consumption of different types of yogurt.

Study subjects were 3,038 individuals (≥19 years of age) who participated in the 2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Yogurt intake was assessed with a food frequency questionnaire by using the 24-hour recall method. We conducted complex samples general linear analysis with adjustment for covariates.

The serum triglyceride levels in the group consuming viscous yogurt were lower than those in the group consuming non-viscous yogurt.

Consumption of viscous yogurt is associated with low serum triglyceride levels in Korean adults.
