Abstract:

This study was intended to analyze the association between ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption and lipid parameters. It is a cross-sectional study performed with high school adolescents. Food consumption was analyzed by means of a 24-hour food recall form, UPF were identified in line with the NOVA system of food classification. The total cholesterol levels, HDL-c and triglycerides, were determined by the colorimetric enzymatic method and the estimated LDL-c fraction by formula. The Student’s t-test or Mann-Whitney was used to compare averages, and the linear regression to make associations among variables. The results show that UPF consumption was more frequent in adolescents female sex aged between 17 and 19 years, with a family income higher than two minimum wages andprivate schools. We can note that individuals in the highest tercile of UPF consumption showed higher energetic, carbohydrate and sodium intake, with a lower intake of proteins and fibers. Moreover, we observed that the higher UPF intake was negatively associated with HDL-c levels and positively associated with triglyceride levels and dyslipidemia. Therefore, UPF favors a worsening of the nutritional profile of the diet and also contributes to negative changes in the lipid parameters of young individuals.
