Background: Suboptimal diets may promote undesired weight gain in youths, with high ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake becoming a significant concern in the United States.
Objectives: We evaluated the association between UPF intake and body mass index [BMI (in kg/m)] change in large United States youth cohorts.
Methods: Participants included children and adolescents (7-17 y) from the Growing Up Today Study (GUTS1 and GUTS2) who completed baseline and ≥1 follow-up diet and anthropometrics assessment (GUTS1 1996-2001: N = 15,797; GUTS2 2004-2011: N = 9720).
Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the links between total and specific ultra-processed food (UPF) intake and cardiovascular disease (CVD), coronary heart disease (CHD), and stroke across three large cohorts of U.S. adults.
- Researchers utilized food frequency questionnaires and statistical models to analyze data from the Nurses' Health Study (NHS), Nurses' Health Study II (NHSII), and Health Professionals Follow-Up Study (HPFS) involving nearly 206,000 participants.
- Findings indicated that higher total UPF intake was associated with increased risks of CVD and CHD, while specific UPF groups like sugary drinks and processed meats showed stronger links to CVD than others like bread and cold cereals, which had lesser or inverse associations
Background: Majority of dietary intake in United States adults comes from ultraprocessed foods (UPFs), which have been linked to several adverse health outcomes. Gallstone disease is highly prevalent and constitutes a significant burden to the United States health system but remains understudied.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the association between UPF consumption and incident gallstone disease risk.
Objective: We assessed ultraprocessed food (UPF) intake and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) incidence within the prospective Nurses' Health Study (NHS) cohorts.
Methods: A total of 204,175 women were observed (NHS 1984-2016; NHSII 1991-2017). Semiquantitative food frequency questionnaires were completed every two to four years.
