Pediatric Allergy and Immunology Sep 29, 2019
Azeredo CM, Cortese M, dos Santos Costa C, et al. - Among children (n = 2,190, 11-year-old) from the 2004 Pelotas Birth Cohort Study, without asthma at the age of 6 years, researchers determined if ultra-processed food (UPF) intake during childhood is related to wheeze, asthma and severe asthma in adolescence. At 6- and 11-year follow-ups, UPF intake was evaluated by means of Food Frequency Questionnaires. At 11-year follow-up, they evaluated wheeze, asthma and severe asthma data. Based on the processing degree in UPF, they categorized foods. In this study, no link was evident between UPF intake during childhood or adolescence and asthma or wheeze among adolescents.
