A Meal with Ultra-ProcessedFoods Leads to a Faster Rate of Intake and to a Lesser Decrease in the Capacity to Eat When Compared to a Similar, Matched Meal Without Ultra-ProcessedFoods. : It is unknown whether the negative health effects associated with ultra-processedfoods (UPFs) are due to their nutritional composition or to the extent of food processing itself. We evaluated the impact
Increased consumption of ultra-processedfoods and worse diet quality in colorectal cancer patients after colostomy: A prospective study. Colorectal cancer (CRC) is commonly treated with intestinal resections that lead to colostomy, which can influence changes in eating habits. This study aimed to analyze energy and nutrient intake, diet quality, and food consumption based on the processing level processed, processed, and ultra-processedfoods) were estimated. Generalized estimating equations were used to compare the food intake variables with time points. Of the 46 patients, 52.2% were women, and the mean age was 60.6±12.2 years old. There was a change in food consumption over time, with an increase in energy consumption (kcal and kcal/kg), lipids, and sodium, in addition to a reduction in some
Association of expenditure on ultra-processedfoods and beverages and anthropometric indicators in Mexican children: A longitudinal study. The prevalence of obesity in Mexico has been rising dramatically from school age onward. The high consumption of ultra-processedfood has been identified as a contributing factor. We explored the longitudinal association between household expenditure on ultra -processedfoods and beverages (UPF) and changes in anthropometric indicators of obesity among Mexican children aged 5 to 10 years in 2002. We used data from the Mexican Family Life Survey (MxFLS), a longitudinal, probabilistic, multipurpose, and representative survey of the Mexican population conducted in 2002, which reports household expenditure on the main food and beverage groups, as well
A high density of ultra-processedfood, alcohol & tobacco retail stores, and social inequalities are associated with higher mortality rates of non-communicable diseases in Mexican adults: 2005 to 2021. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading causes of mortality in Mexico. Factors contributing to NCDs-related deaths may vary across small geographic areas such as municipalities. We aimed with Mexican Social Security Institute (IRR = 1.11, 95%CI: 1.09-1.14), households with television (IRR = 1.14, 95%CI: 1.11-1.17), and high density of ultra-processedfood, alcohol & tobacco retail stores (IRR = 1.15, 95%CI: 1.13-1.17). The greatest increases in MR were observed in municipalities from Oaxaca (>200% increments). There was an overall increase in NCDs MR from 2005 to 2021, with a significant
Consumption of ultra-processedfoods and low dietary diversity are associated with sedentary and unhealthy eating behaviors: A nationwide study with Brazilian Schoolchildren. Consumption of ultra-processedfoods and low dietary diversity are risk factors for chronic diseases. To evaluate the association between food consumption and sedentary and unhealthy eating behaviors of Brazilian . Poisson's regression with robust variance was performed (p<0.05). The study included 2,021 dyads. Of these, 27.6% of children reported eating five or more ultra-processedfoods and 39.0% four or fewer natural or staple foods the previous day. Using screens, proxy of sedentary behavior (Prevalence Ratio-PR = 1.8, Confidence Interval-CI95%1.2-2.8) and eating at irregular hours (PR = 1.6, CI95%1.2-2.2) were
