Ultra-processed Food and Obesity: What Is the Evidence?

Current Nutrition Reports, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 13(1), С. 23 - 38

Опубликована: Янв. 31, 2024

Abstract Purpose of Review Obesity is a growing global healthcare concern. A proposed driver the recent increase in ultra-processed food (UPF) intake. However, disagreement surrounds concept UPF, strength evidence, and suggested mechanisms. Therefore, this review aimed to critically appraise evidence on UPF obesity. Recent Findings Observational studies demonstrate positive associations between intake, weight gain, overweight/obesity, more clearly adults than children/adolescents. This supported by high-quality clinical data. Several mechanisms are proposed, but current understanding inconclusive. Summary Greater consumption has been key There need change obesogenic environment support individuals reduce their The novel approach that not explained with existing nutrient- food-based frameworks. Critical analysis methodologies provides confidence, future observational experimental research outputs greater methodological rigor will strengthen findings, which outlined.

Ultra-processed food consumption and human health: an umbrella review of systematic reviews with meta-analyses

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown, С. 1 - 9

Опубликована: Фев. 16, 2024

Recently, ultra-processed foods received a lot of attention, but also criticism. Our aim was to provide an overview the existing evidence food consumption on human health. We conducted systematic search in four databases until January 5th, 2024. Systematic reviews with meta-analyses as defined by NOVA classification system were included. The certainty evaluated GRADE approach. identified 16 publications. Moderate found for all-cause mortality (Summary Risk Ratio per 50 g: 1.02; 95% confidence Interval (CI): 1.01, 1.03), cardiovascular disease incidence and (per g/d: 1.04; CI: 1.02, 1.06, 1.05; 1.08), type 2 diabetes 10%: 1.12; 1.10, 1.13) colorectal cancer 1.07). For several outcomes such inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, metabolic syndrome, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, mental health well nutrient quality, similar estimates observed, limited. Discussing concept, it remains unclear whether processing leads increased risks or if is only measure poor diet quality.

What Factors Influence Obesity in Spain? A Multivariate Analysis of Sociodemographic, Nutritional, and Lifestyle Factors Affecting Body Mass Index in the Spanish Population

Healthcare, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(4), С. 386 - 386

Опубликована: Фев. 11, 2025

Aim: This cross-sectional study examines sociodemographic, nutritional, and lifestyle factors affecting Body Mass Index (BMI) in the Spanish population, with a particular emphasis on obesity. Methods: A sample of 22,181 residents aged 18 years older was recruited through digital physical channels from August 2020 to November 2021. Data were collected using validated NutSo-HH questionnaire, which includes sections sociodemographic information, health perceptions, eating habits, factors. Results: Among respondents, 661 (3%) underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m2), 14,562 (65.7%) normal weight (18.5 kg/m2 ≤ BMI 25 4825 respondents (21.8%) overweight (25 30 2133 (9.6%) obese > significant differences across these groups relation diet behaviors. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) employed identify primary variables influencing obesity, revealing that poor dietary habits (frequent consumption fast food, fried foods, ultra-processed items) negatively correlated healthy behaviors such as regular fish activity. The PCA plot indicated notable distinctions based educational attainment age, individuals lower levels displaying poorer nutritional patterns younger participants exhibiting higher food sleep quality. Statistical analyses confirmed factors, including education, income level, significantly influenced BMI. Some also found according place residence. Conclusions: These findings underscore need for targeted interventions address both mitigate obesity risk Spain.

From dearth to excess: the rise of obesity in an ultra-processed food system

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 378(1885)

Опубликована: Июль 24, 2023

More people now have obesity than suffer from starvation thanks to our modern food system. Agriculture was transformed over the 20th century by a variety of technological advancements that relied heavily on fossil fuels. In United States, government policies and economic incentives led surplus production cheap inputs processed industries produced wide marketed, convenient, rewarding, timesaving, relatively inexpensive ultra-processed foods. The energy available in supply increased much more population needs, albeit with large inequities nutrition security. While most rise per capita availability during late early 21st centuries States resulted waste, mechanisms been proposed which changes increasingly environment excess intake disproportionately genetically susceptible obesity. As populations continue grow, substantial investments coordinated agricultural research are needed transform current system one relies less fuels, preserves biodiversity, ensures environmental health, provides equitable access affordable, safe nutritious reduces prevalence chronic diet-related diseases like This article is part discussion meeting issue ‘Causes obesity: theories, conjectures evidence (Part I)’.

Perspective: A Research Roadmap about Ultra-Processed Foods and Human Health for the United States Food System: Proceedings from an Interdisciplinary, Multi-Stakeholder Workshop

Advances in Nutrition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 14(6), С. 1255 - 1269

Опубликована: Сен. 16, 2023

Our objective was to convene interdisciplinary experts from government, academia, and industry develop a Research Roadmap identify research priorities about processed food intake risk for obesity cardiometabolic diseases (CMD) among United States populations. We convened attendees at various career stages with diverse viewpoints in the field. held "Food Processing Primer" build foundational knowledge of how why foods are processed, followed by presentations may affect energy intake, obesity, CMD risk. Breakout groups discussed potential mechanistic confounding explanations associations between Facilitators created questions (RQs) based on key themes discussions. Different breakout discuss what is known unknown each RQ sub-RQs address gaps. Workshop focused ultra-processed (UPFs; Nova Group 4) because preponderance evidence this classification system. Yet, heterogeneity subjectivity UPF challenge development. The 6 RQs were: 1) What methods or measures could further categorize UPFs, considering processing, formulation, interaction two? 2) How can exposure assessment be improved? 3) Does influence CMDs, independent diet quality? What, if any, attributes UPFs ingestive behavior contribute excess intake? 5) clinically meaningful metabolic responses? 6) external environmental factors lead people consume high amounts UPFs? Uncertainty complexity around warrant complementary causal, mechanistic, methodological related understand utility applying degree processing States.

Ultra-Processed Foods Consumption and Asthma in the Western Diet

Dietetics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 3(2), С. 144 - 158

Опубликована: Май 7, 2024

Obesity is considered an important risk factor for the onset of asthma, playing a key role in enhancing disease’s severity. However, there increasing evidence linking not only obesity but also overweight with higher asthma. Although correlation between and asthma has already been reported, several aspects are still fully elucidated, mainly about inflammatory processes underlying both diseases. It well known that Western-type calorically rich diets overfeeding can act as triggers chronic metabolic inflammation, few studies have examined associations ultra-processed foods (UPFs) intake, despite its positive obesity, biomarkers inflammation. In addition to their nutrient composition, UPF may chemical additives contaminants from packaging, whose effects on health food addiction under research. this review, we provide overview current data identify obese phenotype consumption, highlighting potential central played by intestinal microbiota.
