Recommendations limit intake ultra‐processed (UPF) (group 4) are primarily observational studies showing that their is associated with a range adverse outcomes. Nearly plant milks entire new generation plant‐based meat alternatives (PBMAs), made using concentrated sources protein, classified as UPFs.

Background/Objectives: This scoping review explores the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF), bone health, and joint diseases, focusing on its potential impact mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, inflammatory arthritis, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), gout, spondyloarthritis. Methods: A search strategy was developed using key terms such as "ultra-processed food" related like "fast food," alongside various definitions of health impairment, chronic degenerative arthritis. Results: total 19 studies were included: 12 3 4 Preclinical showed that UPF consumption negatively affects structure strength. In children adults, four investigations (2013-2017) found no association fast intake BMD. However, more recent large-scale cross-sectional linked higher to lower BMD, increased osteoporosis risk, greater prevalence osteopenia, particularly in postmenopausal women. associated with knee osteoarthritis evidence suggesting an interaction cartilage thickness, though for hip osteoarthritis.
