description Abstract Objective Due to the contradictory findings and the lack of a comprehensive study investigating the relationship between fruits, vegetables, and dairy intake with lipid profiles in Iran, the present study was conducted to further assess the potential role of fruits, vegetables, and dairy intake in influencing blood lipid levels. Results The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the participants were 46.67 ± 15.48 years and 26.89 ± 5.09 kg/m2, respectively. Regarding lipid profiles, the mean levels of triglycerides, total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were 127.36 ± 81.13, 163.61 ± 36.52, 96.95 ± 31.24, and 41.23 ± 11.32, respectively. In the adjusted model, the odds of abnormal triglyceride levels decreased with the consumption of one serving (odds ratio (OR)= 0.90; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.83–0.98) and two servings of dairy products (OR = 0.87; 95% CI 0.78–0.97). No significant association was observed for the other variables.
