Abstract
This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in 490 type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients. A 20-gram increase in UPF consumption was associated with significantly higher total cholesterol (TC) and lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels. Crude models showed significant adverse effects on Castelli risk indices 1 and 2 (CRI-I and II) and the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP). The study concludes that higher UPF consumption is associated with increased CVD risk in T2DM patients.
