Consumo de alimentos ultraprocesados, coexistencia de aditivos y factores de riesgo asociados entre estudiantes universitarios en Perú

Background

The rising consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is a global concern, given their poor nutritional quality and the presence of multiple additives that may pose health risks when consumed in excess. Young populations are particularly vulnerable due to lifestyle habits and the widespread availability and accessibility of these products. The present study aimed to assess the consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs), taking into account the co-occurrence of additives and their association with risk factors in a young population.
