Associations between ultra-processed food and drink consumption and biomarkers of chronic low-grade inflammation: exploring the mediating role of adiposity
Consumption of UPFDs is associated with a less optimal inflammatory biomarker profile and the total effect of UPFD intake on biomarker concentrations is likely due both to higher levels of adiposity related to UPFD consumption and the pro-inflammatory potential of UPFD products.
