Abstract:

To verify the association between UPF consumption and MS in individuals aged 20 and 39 years and ≥ 40 years. Cross-sectional, population-based and household study. Demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, anthropometric, biochemical, food consumption and blood pressure (BP) data were collectedindividuals ≥20 years old, of both sexes, living in Teresina (PI). Of the 262 participants, 38.2% of individuals were aged 20 to 39 years and 61.8% were ≥ 40 years old. Individuals aged ≥ 40 years had a higher prevalence of MS (57.4%), hyperglycemia (13%), hypertension (54.9%) and high waist circumference (WC) (50.6%). At 20 to 39 years of age, the prevalence of MS was 23% and they had adequate blood glucose, BP and WC (99%, 78% and 77%, respectively). In the total sample, caloric intakeUPF was 20% of total calories, 24.4% in the group aged 20 to 39 years and 17% in the group ≥ 40 years. It was found that individuals aged ≥ 40 years in the highest tertile of UPF consumption had a 35% higher prevalence of MetS. The excessive consumption of UPF should be discouraged and the consumption of fresh/minimally processed foods should be encouraged, aiming to guarantee the health of the population.
