Conclusions

Luis A. Moreno Aznar lmoreno@unizar.esGENUD Research Group Universidad de Zaragoza

Yogurt consumers have

● Better nutritional intakes

● Healthier dietary patterns

Active and low sedentary children and adolescents consume

more yogurt, specially boys

Yogurt consumption can be viewed as a signature of a

healthy diet and lifestyle
