Association Between Ultraprocessed Food Consumption and Risk of Incident CKD: A Prospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale & objective

Ultraprocessed foods have become readily available in the global food supply in the past few decades. Several adverse health outcomes have been linked with higher consumption of ultraprocessed foods. However, the impact of ultraprocessed foods on chronic kidney disease (CKD) risk remains unknown.

Study design

Prospective cohort study.

Setting & participants

14,679 middle-aged adults without CKD at baseline in the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study.

Exposure

Ultraprocessed foods consumption (servings per day) calculated using dietary data collected via a food frequency questionnaire at visit 1 and visit 3.

Outcome

Incident CKD defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m² accompan
