Summary

Elevated blood lipid levels are one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. To manage elevated blood lipid levels in otherwise healthy people at low risk of cardiovascular disease, lifestyle changes are recommended as the first treatment strategy. One of these changes concerns diet. Clinical observations by general practitioners in alpine regions of Switzerland have shown that consumption of dairy products produced from cows living and grazing at high altitudes can have a beneficial effect on blood lipid parameters. However, little clinical data is available on the effect of alpine dairy products on health-related markers. This pilot study aims to assess if replacing standard (non-alpine) dairy products by alpine dairy products in the daily diet among patients with elevated LDL-cholesterol levels could reduce the blood LDL-cholesterol levels.

Conditions

  • Elevated Cholesterol

Interventions

OTHER

Alpine dairy products

The intervention group will be instructed to eat three portions of alpine dairy products daily. The proposed three portions represent an estimated mean consummation in the study population, taking into consideration the national statistics.
