Joint analysis of diet quality, inflammatory potential of diet and ultra-processed food exposure in relation to chronic respiratory diseases and lung cancer mortality
The findings highlight that the UPF-mortality relationship is potentially explained by DII and, to a lesser extent, by HEI-2015. Adhering to HEI-2015 guidelines can counterbalance the effects of DII on respiratory health but may not offset the effects associated with UPF.
