Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are that industrially processed and often pre-packaged, convenient, energy-dense, nutrient-poor. UPFs widespread in the current Western diet their proposed contribution to non-communicable diseases such as obesity cardiovascular disease is supported by numerous studies. hypothesized affect body multiple ways, including inducing changes gut microbiome. This review summarizes available research on effect of We also usage NOVA food classification system randomized controlled trials observational studies how its implementation effects UPF research. Despite some differences methodology between studies, results associate consumption with a number negative health consequences. There attempts standardize system; however, reaching implementing consensus difficult. Future focusing mechanisms which body, through microbiome metabolome, will be essential refine our understanding human health.

Associations between ultra-processed foods intake and preserved ratio impaired spirometry in U.S. adults

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Jan. 31, 2025

Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm) is increasingly recognized as a precursor to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The impact of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) intake on PRISm and lung function remains underexplored, we aimed explore their associations. This study included 8,336 U.S. adults. Weighted logistic linear regression models were employed for main analysis. Dose-response relationship was examined through restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis, subgroup analyses explored interactions with selected covariates. Participants in the group older exhibited various adverse health characteristics. percentage total daily energy from UPFs (%Kcal) associated non-significant increase risk (OR 1.67, 95% CI: 0.96-2.92, p = 0.07).

Association of ultra-processed foods with phenotypic age acceleration in US adults: a mediation analysis of body mass index in the NHANES

Frontiers in Nutrition, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: March 24, 2025

Background The rising intake of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) has been linked to adverse health outcomes, yet its impact on aging acceleration remains unclear. Objective This study aimed examine the association between percentage total daily calories (%Kcal) and grams (%Gram) from UPFs phenotypic age (PhenoAgeAccel). Methods Data 12,079 adults in NHANES 2005–2010 cycles were analyzed. relationship PhenoAgeAccel was assessed using multivariable linear regression restricted cubic splines, with adjustments for relevant covariates. mediating role body mass index (BMI) also explored. Results A significant positive observed PhenoAgeAccel, highest quartile showing an increase 0.60 (95% CI: 0.15, 1.05; p trend = 0.039), but no found PhenoAgeAccel. Mediation analysis indicated that BMI mediated 27.5% Sensitivity analyses confirmed robustness results. Conclusion Higher is positively associated playing a role.
