Abstract:   (69 Views)
Nowadays, cardiometabolic diseases are one of the leading causes of death and chronic disability worldwide and are considered one of the leading non-communicable diseases. Diet plays a central role in cardiovascular health; hence an unhealthy diet is one of the main behavioral factors associated with cardiometabolic diseases. Meanwhile, ultra-processed foods (UPFs) have emerged as a dominant element of modern diets, raising concerns about their effects on cardiovascular health. Consumption of UPFs varies considerably across populations and is often higher in low-income communities. Therefore, promoting food security in the form of sustainable access to nutritious and affordable foods to reduce the burden of diet-related chronic diseases, as well as empowering consumers to make healthier food choices through educational and targeted interventions to promote food-literacy for families, seems essential. Therefore, this review study aimed to investigate the association between UPFs consumption and cardiometabolic diseases, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, using the results of various previous studies and the associated physiological mechanisms.
Keywords: Cardiometabolic diseases, Diabetes, Obesity, Ultra-processed foods
