Abstract in brief

  • This article discusses that approximately 70% of the world's population has hypolactasia, which is often undiagnosed and can cause health issues, but not everyone with hypolactasia experiences lactose intolerance due to genetic and nutritional factors.
  • Lactose intolerance symptoms include abdominal pain, bloating, flatulence, and diarrhea, with diagnosis mainly through the lactose hydrogen breath test, though some individuals can tolerate small amounts of lactose if properly advised.
  • Genetic variations influence lactase persistence, especially common in North Europeans, and understanding these can help in managing and diagnosing lactose intolerance, recognizing that some individuals can consume dairy without symptoms.
