Objective: To evaluate the association between ultra-processed food consumption and adherence to the EAT- diet in a representative sample of the Brazilian population.
Design: The study used data from the Brazilian National Dietary Survey 2017-2018 and employed linear regression models to evaluate the association between ultra-processed food consumption and adherence to the EAT- diet, as measured by the Nova food system and Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI), respectively.
Setting: Nationally representative sample of the Brazilian population.
Participants: The study included 46 164 Brazilians ≥ 10 years old.
Results: The average PHDI total score was 45·9 points (95 % CI 45·6, 46·1). The ultra-processed food consumption was, with dose-response, inversely associated with the adherence to the EAT- diet. The PHDI total score was 5·38 points lower (95 % CI -6·01, -4·75) in individuals in the highest quintile of consumption of ultra-processed foods, as compared to those in the first quintile. The PHDI score was also inversely associated with the share of processed culinary ingredients and processed foods and positively associated with the share of unprocessed or minimally processed foods.
Conclusions: Our study showed an inverse relationship between the consumption of ultra-processed foods and the adherence to a healthy and sustainable diet.

Relationships between the Planetary Health Diet Index, its food groups, and polygenic risk of obesity in the CARTaGENE cohort.

Background: The Planetary Health Diet, proposed by the EAT-Lancet Commission, seeks to promote a sustainable and healthy diet for both humans and the environment. However, few studies have investigated relationships between the Planetary Health Diet and the genetic pathway of obesity. The aim of this study was to assess whether adherence to a Planetary Health Diet Index (PHDI) mediated or moderated the genetic susceptibility to obesity.

Objective: The hikikomori phenomenon has recently gained growing global interest, and evidences of its association with other psychopathological dimensions are slowly but steadily emerging. We aimed to evaluate the presence and correlates of hikikomori tendencies in an Italian University population, focusing on its relationships with autism spectrum, pathological computer gaming, and eating disorders. In particular, to our knowledge, no study has yet systematically evaluated the latter association, using psychometric instruments tailored to assess eating disorder symptoms.

Background: The EAT-Lancet diet was reported to be mutually beneficial for the human cardiometabolic system and planetary health. However, mechanistic evidence linking the EAT-Lancet diet and human cardiometabolic health is lacking.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate the role of blood proteins in the association between the EAT-Lancet diet and cardiometabolic health and explore the underlying gut microbiota-blood protein interplay.
Effects of a Six-Day, Whole-Diet Sweet Taste Intervention on Pleasantness, Desire for, and Intakes of Sweet Foods: A Randomised Controlled Trial.

Reduced exposure to sweet taste has been proposed to reduce sweet food preferences and intakes, but the evidence to support these associations is limited. This randomised controlled trial investigated the effects of a whole-diet sweet taste intervention for 6 days, on subsequent pleasantness, desire for, and sweet food intakes. Participants ( 104) were randomised to increase ( 40), decrease ( 43), or make no change to ( 21) their consumption of sweet-tasting foods and beverages for six consecutive days.

Background: Limited epidemiological evidence exists regarding the role of healthy eating patterns in reducing the risk of Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). This study aimed to investigate the association between adherence to four established healthy eating patterns and subsequent CD or UC risk, and further examined whether these associations are linked to anti-inflammatory mechanisms.
Methods: We conducted a prospective cohort study of 197,391 participants from the UK Biobank who completed at least one dietary questionnaire and were free from inflammatory bowel disease or cancer at baseline.
