Ultra-processed food consumption and disease: the jury is still out

Ultra-processed food intake and all-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with cardiovascular disease: the Moli-sani Study

Marialaura Bonaccio et al.

Summary: The study found that among individuals with a history of cardiovascular disease, consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) was associated with an increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality, possibly through altered renal function. This suggests that high intake of UPF represents a significant public health concern for secondary cardiovascular disease prevention.

Consumption of ultra-processed foods and health status: a systematic review and meta-analysis

G. Pagliai et al.

Summary: Increasing evidence suggests that high consumption of ultra-processed foods is associated with an increase in non-communicable diseases, overweight, and obesity. Both cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies have found that high UPF consumption is linked to a poorer cardiometabolic risk profile and a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, depression, and all-cause mortality.

Ultra-processed food consumption is associated with increased risk of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in the Moli-sani Study

Marialaura Bonaccio et al.

Summary: Consumption of a high proportion of ultra-processed food (UPF) in the diet is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, partly due to its high dietary content of sugar. Additionally, some established biomarkers of CVD risk are likely to be involved in linking UPF consumption to mortality.

Ultra-Processed Food Consumption is Associated with Renal Function Decline in Older Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study

Jimena Rey-Garcia et al.

Summary: This study found an association between consumption of ultra-processed food and an increased risk of renal function decline in Spanish older adults, with a positive correlation between the amount consumed and the risk of renal decline.
