For women, low intake means one or fewer servings per day, was meant serving under three times, while high means more than three servings. For men, low intake means two or fewer servings per day, was meant for more than two to three servings, while high means four servings or more. Analysis conducted using BMI (weight index) and skinfold thickness measurements at the triceps and below scapula. Researchers found that in children aged 5-11 years found no consistent results between the consumption of milk and body fat. but in adolescents, the group who consumed the least dairy have the body fat is higher than the group who consumed the most milk. Compared with young women who consumed the least milk, the young women who consume one to three servings a day had more body fat, thin 2.5 mm.
