This study examined the association between consumption of ultra-processed foods and developing, or dying from, cardiovascular disease over a 10-year period. The study enrolled adults free of cardiovascular disease at baseline who were asked about the frequency and portion sizes of a range of foods and beverages consumed during the previous seven days.
The researchers also used a questionnaire to assess the level of adherence to a heart-healthy dietary pattern, i.e. the Mediterranean diet, which emphasises fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Participants were assigned a score of 0 to 55 (higher values mean better adherence).
Participants were followed up for 10 years for the occurrence of fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events including heart attack, unstable angina, stroke, heart failure and heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). The study included 2,020 participants, of whom 1,014 were women and 1,006 were men. The average age was 45 years. (image credits- istock)
