Ultra-processed foods and the incidence of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes among Iranian adults: the Tehran lipid and glucose study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

No study has investigated the association between ultra-processed food (UPF) and pre-diabetes development. Furthermore, prior investigations on the association between UPF and the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) were primarily conducted in Europe and America, and studies in other regions are lacking. We investigated the association between ultra-processed foods and the risk of pre-diabetes and T2D in a cohort of Iranians.

Methods

This prospective study, with a sample size of 1954 for pre-diabetes and 2457 for T2D, was conducted among adults' participants (aged ≥ 18 years) from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS). We defined UPF intake using NOVA calcification as a proportion of total energy, and calculated its average intake during the follow-ups. The hazard r
