High Consumption of Ultra-Processed Food is Associated with Incident Dyslipidemia: A Prospective Study of Older Adults
Favoring the intake of ultra-processed foods may promote the occurrence of dyslipidemia in older adults.
This research work studied the incidence of dyslipidemia in older adults fond of consuming ultra-processed foods. Researchers assessed the diets and regularly measured the blood levels of triglycerides and cholesterol among 1,082 Spanish men and women aged 60 years and above.
Researchers discovered that consistent consumption of ultra-processed foods increased serum concentrations of triglycerides and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, but decreased plasma high density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels. Evidence from this study suggest that preference for ultra-processed foods may put an older adult at risk of suffering from dyslipidemia.
