The NOVA classification was used to identify the intake of UPF based on 24-h dietary recalls. The analysis focused on the contribution of UPF intake to overall dietary kilocalories, macronutrients, and fiber content. The CRFs included excess body weight, abdominal obesity, and alterations in blood lipid and glucose levels. Statistical analyses included multiple linear regression models, multivariate binary logistic regression, and odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals. Results: The analysis focused on 402 adolescents (mean age 14.1 ± 1.9 years) . UPF intake accounted for 17.6 ± 1.9% of total dietary kilocalories, with a higher percentage in urban areas (19.0% vs. 9.7%; p = 0.002) and among those in the middle socioeconomic stratum (23 .0% vs. 16.6%; p = 0.006) . UPF consumption was associated with total kilocalories, total fat and saturated fat intake, and decreased fiber intake (p \u003C 0.001) . Adolescents in the highest quartile of UPFintake showed higher blood glucose levels (3 .13 mg/dL; p \u003C 0.05), although no significant associations were found with other CRFs.  \nConclusion: UPF intake was associated with diet quality deterioration and increased blood glucose levels. High UPF intake among adolescents in urban areas of Antioquia, particularly within the middle socioeconomic stratum, poses a potential health risk that warrants further monitoring.  \nKEYWORDS  \nadolescents, ultra-processed foods, NOVA classification, heart disease risk factors, public health  \nFrontiers in Public Health 01 [frontiersin.org](frontiersin.org)  \nIntroduction  \nThe consumption of ult","cbCaivskCzGQImlW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivskCzGQImlW","pdf",301309,"English","# Introduction\n## Study objective and rationale\n# Methodology\n## Design, participants, and dietary assessment\n## UPF classification and CRF definitions\n## Statistical analyses\n# Results\n## UPF contribution to dietary intake\n## Associations with diet and cardiovascular risk indicators\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"How was ultra-processed food intake measured in this study?\",\"answer\":\"UPF intake was identified using the NOVA classification based on 24-hour dietary recalls from adolescents.\"},{\"question\":\"Which cardiovascular risk factors were assessed?\",\"answer\":\"CRFs included excess body weight, abdominal obesity, and alterations in blood lipid and glucose levels.\"},{\"question\":\"What were the main findings linking UPF intake to health outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"Higher UPF intake was associated with lower fiber intake and certain dietary fat and calorie patterns, and adolescents in the highest UPF quartile had higher blood glucose levels.\"}]","Association between ultra-processed food intake, diet quality, and cardiovascular risk factors among adolescents in Antioquia, Colombia | PDF",1790577513,23]
