Individuals with desirable BMI, S-cholesterol, or S-triglycerides, fasting B-glucose or blood pressure at their first VIP visit and who maintained or deteriorated their status to an undesirable level over the follow-up period were identified from the subgroup of 27,682 individuals with a follow-up visit after 8–12 years (Fig. 1). In this prospective evaluation, increasing butter intake was associated with a deterioration of S-cholesterol from less than to above 5.2 mmol/l and of B-glucose from less than to above 6.1 mmol/l (Table 5). Compared to the reference group (Q1, i.e., lowest quintile for butter intake), the adjusted HR (95% CI) increased consecutively up to Q4 (1.16 (1.03, 1.30), p = 0.012) with stagnation for Q5 (1.12, (0.99, 1.26), p = 0.064). The HR for having an undesirable B-glucose at follow-up was 1.24 ((1.03, 1.50), p = 0.027) in Q4 and slightly higher in Q5 than in Q1 (Table 4). Further, increasing cheese intake was associated with a reduced risk of having undesirable S-triglyceride values at follow-up than at baseline. Thus, the HR (95% CI) for the Q5 group with the highest cheese intake was 0.66 ((0.52, 0.83), p = 0.001) compared to the Q1 group (Table 4). No associations were found for non-fermented or fermented milk or total dairy product intake.
