3 Introduction: 4-5 Materials and Methods: 6 Results: 7 Discussion: 8-9 Literature Cited: 10 Tables and Figures: 11-12 List of Figures/Tables Duffy 5 Link between lactose intolerance and osteoporosis Table 1. Symptoms of lactose intolerance after ingestion of lactose for the hydrogen breath test were observed in all three subgroups of people. As expected, symptoms were most prevalent in persons with severe lactose intolerance. Table 2. Results from the 1-way ANOVA, including means, variances, and standard deviations of the NLT, MLT, and SLT subgroups. F-value and P-value are also included. Figure 1. The means of each subgroup’s individual BMD scan values from 1-way ANOVA. The X-axis represents the mean of each subgroup, and the Y-axis represents each individual subgroup (NLT, MLT, and SLT, respectively).
