12 Countries with Highest Dairy Consumption and Low Osteoporosis Rates

9. Spain

Milk consumption: 84.31 kg

Cheese consumption: 8.93 kg

Butter consumption: 0.74 kg

Hip fractures incidents: 164 per 100,000

Compared to previously mentioned Israel, in Spain people eat smaller amounts of dairy products – a Spanish resident consumes 93.98 kg of milk, cheese, and butter per year. At the same time, Spain has a smaller number of hip fracture incidents. According to IOF, there are 164 hip bone raptures per 100,000, which means that country has the medium risk of fracture incidents. Note though, that other sources which measure hip fracture cases per the number of the elderly estimate that there are 517 hip fracture incidents per 100,000 older Spanish residents. Unfortunately, this number is going to increase as the nation is getting older.
