Greek yogurt may boost bone health in older adults
NCT ID NCT06530394
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether eating more Greek yogurt for 8 weeks could improve bone health and lower inflammation in adults aged 55 and older. Forty participants either ate yogurt with or without exercise, or just exercised without yogurt. Researchers measured blood markers of bone turnover and inflammation to see if yogurt made a difference.

- What this could lead to
- If results are positive, this could point toward a simple dietary way to support bone health and reduce inflammation in older adults.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed study (40 people) looking at blood markers, not actual bone fractures or disease outcomes. The findings may not apply to everyone.
