Ultra-processed foods and risk of declined renal function: a dose-response meta-analysis of 786,216 participants.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Earlier investigations have documented an association between elevated consumption of Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) and adverse renal outcomes. To explore this relationship further, we executed a comprehensive dose-response meta-analysis to examine the link between UPFs intake and the risk of declined renal function.

Setting

A systematic search was completed utilizing the ISI Web of Science, Scopus, Embase as well as PubMed/MEDLINE databases (without any restrictions), up until September 5, 2024. Effect sizes of declined renal function were recalculated by applying a random effects model. The GRADE tool was adopted to assess the certainty of the evidence, while study quality and potential publication bias were examined via validated methods such as the Newcastle-Ot
