Summary

A higher proportion of ultraprocessed food in the diet is generally associated with poorer dietary quality and, among adults, a somewhat higher prevalence of overweight and obesity. This is shown by a study that also critically examines the concept of ultraprocessed foods. The study was conducted at the University of Gothenburg in collaboration with the Swedish Food Agency, using data from the agency's national dietary surveys. The study population included adults (18–80 years old), adolescents (11–17 years old) and young children (1.5–4 years old).
