This study investigates association between UPF consumption plant-based diet in Australian adults. Methods: Analysis was conducted 9111 participants (aged ≥ 19 years) from National Nutrition Physical Activity Survey 2011-2012. Food items reported a 24 h recall were classified using NOVA system, contribution UPFs to total energy intake calculated. examined index (PDI), healthy PDI (hPDI), unhealthy (uPDI). Multiple linear regression models used examine PDI, hPDI, uPDI, their score components. Results: The positively uPDI (β = 0.80; 95% CI 0.72, 0.89) negatively -0.13; CI: -0.22, -0.04) hPDI -0.65; -0.73, -0.57). All components except whole grains, legumes fruit juices, significantly contributed associations. sugars syrups group most positive 6.47; 6.07, 6.87) negative -6.47; -6.07, -6.87). Conclusions: Higher lower quality. These findings have implications for design dietary interventions that encourage minimally processed foods.
