Abstract in brief

This meta-analysis reviewed 10 cohort studies involving over 385,000 participants to examine the link between fermented dairy foods (like cheese and yogurt) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), finding that eating these foods is generally associated with a lower risk of CVD.
The study found that fermented dairy intake reduced CVD risk overall, with specific benefits noted for cheese and yogurt, showing odds ratios of about 0.87 and 0.78 respectively, meaning decreased risk compared to those who didn't consume these foods.
The findings suggest that including fermented dairy products in your diet could be beneficial for heart health, although more research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these effects.]
