Kendamil research reviews: is there a link between milk fat percentage and cholesterol in children?

Here we discuss the findings of the 2019 study by Wong et al., titled "A Positive Association Between Dietary Intake of Higher Cow's Milk-Fat Percentage and Non−High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol in Young Children." This study investigates the relationship between the fat content in cow's milk and non-HDL cholesterol levels in young children.

High levels of non-HDL cholesterol, often termed "bad" cholesterol, are known risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Just as in adults, children's cholesterol levels are influenced by their dietary habits, making it crucial to monitor and manage these levels from a young age.

The study aimed to determine the association between cow’s milk fat percentage and non-HDL cholesterol levels in children aged 2-8 years.
