Milk intake and total dairy consumption were not associated with the likelihood of wheezing, asthma confirmed by a doctor, current asthma, and asthma medication use. In addition, there was no association between other dairy product intake and the odds of wheezing in the past 12\u2009months in the crude model. However, after adjusting for several confounders, those in the top category had lower odds of wheezing in the past 12\u2009months than those in the bottom category (OR: 0.58; 95% CI: 0.40\u20130.85).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>The consumption of dairy products other than milk, including cheese and yogurt, might reduce the likelihood of wheezing in children and adolescents.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2024.1298704","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]],"date-time":"2024-03-21T04:43:35Z","timestamp":1710996215000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Dairy intake in association with asthma symptoms among a large sample of children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mona","family":"Jamalvandi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bahareh","family":"Sasanfar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zahra","family":"Nafei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nasrin","family":"Behniafard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marjan","family":"Jafari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amin","family":"Salehi-Abargouei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1002\/ppul.23498","article-title":"Asthma in adolescence: is there any news?","volume":"52","author":"de Benedictis","year":"2017","journal-title":"Pediatr Pulmonol"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jaip.2014.06.022","article-title":"Severe asthma in children.
