We are starting our list of countries with highest dairy consumption and low osteoporosis rates. with Mexico – the country which has relatively low dairy consumption per capita compared to other places included in this ranking. Still, the amount of 77.27 kg of milk, cheese and butter combined which a Mexican consumes yearly is pretty high in comparison to the majority of other places worldwide. At the same time with 173 hip fractures per 100,000 Mexico falls into the category of countries with moderate risk of fractures. This might change in the future as International Osteoporosis Foundation estimates that a number of hip fracture cases will reach 110,055 in 2050, which is 431% increase compared to 21,000 fractures in 2005.
