Socio-demographic correlates of ultra-processed food consumption in Canada.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed how Canadians consumed ultra-processed foods (UPF) using data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey, which involved a 24-hour dietary recall.
- Findings showed that UPF accounted for about 44.9% of Canadians' daily energy intake, with children and adolescents consuming over half of their energy from these foods.
- Results indicated that non-immigrants and those living in food-insecure households had higher UPF consumption levels, suggesting that public health interventions should target these groups to encourage healthier diets.
