EPIC

Total and subgroups consumption of ultra-processed foods and risk of multimorbidity of cancer and cardiometabolic diseases.

It was shown in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study that higher consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPF) was associated with an increased risk of cancer and cardiometabolic multimorbidity. Furthermore, the relationships were different according to the subgroups of UPFs suggesting that various types of UPFs contribute differently to the risk of developing a first non-communicable disease and multimorbidity.
