TLDR
In this article, the authors investigated whether ultra-processed food consumption differed across socioeconomic subgroups and over time (2010-2018) in Korea, and the overall contribution of ultraprocessed foods increased from 23.1% to 26.1%.Abstract:
There is growing evidence for a global transition to a more highly processed diet. While the dietary share of ultra-processed foods depends on a country’s economic status, food choice and consumption are also influenced by the socioeconomic situation of individuals. This study investigated whether ultra-processed food consumption differed across socioeconomic subgroups and over time (2010–2018) in Korea. Cross-sectional data from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2018 were analyzed. Food and beverages reported in a one-day 24 h recall were classified according to the NOVA food classification criteria. The dietary energy contribution of ultra-processed foods was high among men and urban residents, and increased with education and income level; additionally, it reached its peak in adolescents and thereafter decreased with increasing age. After adjusting the socioeconomic variables, such associations remained significant, except for income level. The overall contribution of ultra-processed foods increased from 23.1% (2010–2012) to 26.1% (2016–2018), and the same trend over time was observed in all age groups and socioeconomic strata. In the Korean population, ultra-processed food consumption differed by individual socioeconomic characteristics, but gradually increased over time, and this trend was consistently found in all socioeconomic subgroups. Future strategies to promote healthy food choices are needed for the Korean population.read more

TL;DR: Dairy share of ultra-processed foods determines the overall nutritional quality of diets in Brazil and is directly associated with high consumption of free sugars and total, saturated and trans fats, and with low consumption of protein, dietary fibre, and most of the assessed vitamins and minerals.

Ultra-processed Food Intake and Obesity: What Really Matters for Health—Processing or Nutrient Content?
TL;DR: There is a clear need for further studies, particularly those using longitudinal designs and with sufficient control for confounding, to potentially confirm these findings in different populations and to determine whether ultra-processed food consumption is associated with obesity independent of nutrient content.

TL;DR: Underreporting of food intake does not result from a systematical underestimation of portion sizes for all food items, but seems to concern specific food items which are generally considered ‘bad for health’.

Association Between Ultraprocessed Food Consumption and Risk of Mortality Among Middle-aged Adults in France
Laure Schnabel,Emmanuelle Kesse-Guyot,Benjamin Allès,Mathilde Touvier,Bernard Srour,Serge Hercberg,Camille Buscail,Chantal Julia +7 more
TL;DR: An increase in ultraprocessed foods consumption appears to be associated with an overall higher mortality risk among this adult population; further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings and to disentangle the various mechanisms by which ultra processed foods may affect health.
