The role of dairy products in cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention remains controversial. This study investigates the association between consumption and CVD incidence using data from China Kadoorie Biobank UK Biobank, complemented by an updated meta-analysis. Among Chinese participants, regular (primarily whole milk) is associated with a 9% increased risk coronary heart (CHD) 6% reduced stroke compared to non-consumers. British total linked lower risks CVD, CHD, ischemic stroke, cheese semi-skimmed/skimmed milk contributing risk. Meta-analysis reveals that 3.7% stroke. Notably, inverse associations are observed for low-fat products. Current evidence suggests consumption, particularly cheese, may have protective effects against debated. Here, authors show risk, though vary populations.

Ultra-processed food consumption is emerging as a risk factor for various cardiometabolic diseases, however its association with dementia and Alzheimer's disease has rarely been explored. We sought to examine whether ultra-processed associated of all-cause among middle-age older adults. A prospective cohort study. The Framingham Heart Study, single-site, community-based Offspring participants who attended examination cycles 5 (1991-1995) 7 (1998-2001) at age ≥60 years were dementia-free baseline. Nutritional information was retrieved from frequency questionnaires, categorized based on the NOVA system. Participants followed-up disease. Cox regression models used estimate hazard ratios (HRs) 95 % confidence intervals (CIs) adjusting potential confounders. study sample included 1,375 free stroke baseline (mean 68 ± 6y, 54 females). During mean follow-up 12.7 6.0 years, 224 172 individuals diagnosed disease, respectively. An interaction observed regard (p = 0.02 0.007, respectively).

While recent studies suggest a correlation between unhealthy dietary patterns, oxidative stress, inflammation, and male infertility, the potential association ultra-processed foods (UPFs) infertility remains underexplored. Therefore, aim of present study was to investigate UPF intake by evaluating sperm quality parameters. The participants (n = 260) current cross-sectional were recruited from an center in Isfahan Province, Iran. Four semen parameters—such as total motility, concentration, volume, normal morphology—were evaluated. Also, participants' food assessed using validated 168-item frequency questionnaire. Moreover, NOVA system employed calculate index. UPFs parameters analyzed logistic regression. In crude model, no significant associations observed second last tertiles with abnormalities morphology (p > 0.05 for all). However, after adjusting age, marriage duration, body mass index, physical activity, depression, anxiety, energy intake, cigarette history, mineral vitamin supplements, significantly higher identified tertile concentration (odds ratio (OR) 3.962, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.345–11.670, p 0.013). conclusion, although analysis did not find consumption impaired motility morphology, it revealed trends linking lower concentration. If future confirm these results, they could aid designing interventional preventive programs aimed at addressing men reproductive age field public health.

Ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption has been steadily increasing globally, yet the associated risk of all-cause mortality remains unclear. We aimed to assess UPFs via an updated systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis. A comprehensive literature search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library for studies published until July 2, 2024, addition referred included previous review. Prospective cohort assessing association between NOVA classification-defined UPF were included. Dose-response meta-analysis a random-effect model used combine results with hazard ratio (HR) as effect measure. Overall, 18 1,148,387 participants (173,107 deaths) identified. Compared lowest, highest had 15% increased (HR = 1.15, 95% CI 1.09–1.22; I2 83.0%). Furthermore, 10% higher detected each increment 1.10, 1.04–1.16; 91.0%). analysis showed positive linear (Pdose-response < 0.001). Moreover, subgroups sensitivity analyses indicated consistent findings, while meta-regression suggested sex distributions partially explained heterogeneity, males. Our meta-analysis, incorporating greater number newly using classification largest sample size date, strengthens evidence linking risk.

Ultra-processed foods are linked to adverse health outcomes, making it crucial monitor consumption trends. Despite rising due Westernized diets in Asia, long-term studies targeting Asian adults lacking. Thus, we analyzed ultra-processed food trends among Korean from 1998 2022. Additionally, compared intakes before and during the pandemic evaluate potential impact of COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, nutrient profiles non-ultra-processed group intakes. This study used data Korea National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) 2022, classifying into four NOVA groups. Dietary intake was assessed In 2020-2022, had a higher proportion using single 24-hour recall for 96,447 individuals aged 20 years or older. Sampling weights were applied adjust complex survey design non-responses. We calculated weighted means confidence intervals energy by groups various profiles.
