Chang K, Khandpur N, Neri D, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective birth cohort study to evaluate longitudinal connections between ultraprocessed foods (UPF) consumption and adiposity trajectories from childhood to early adulthood. This investigation involved children who partook in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children in Avon County, southwest England. During the study period, from September 1, 1998, to October 31, 2017, children aged 7 to 24 were followed up on. Baseline dietary intake data were gathered using 3-day food diaries. In total, 9,025 children (4,481 [49.7%] female and 4,544 [50.3%] male) were followed up for a median of 10.2 (interquartile range, 5.2-16.4) years. Such findings indicate that higher UPF consumption is linked to greater increases in adiposity from childhood to early adulthood. To reduce obesity in England and around the world, robust public health measures that promote minimally processed foods and discourage UPF consumption among children are urgently required.
