Consumption Patterns of NOVA Food Groups and their Association with Body Mass Index among Jordanian Adults
Despite generally high UPF consumption, individuals with higher BMI consume more energy from MUPF and less from UPF, suggesting a potential shift toward healthier food choices as body weight increases. Therefore, interventions should also focus on energy balance and portion control in normal-weight people within MUPF, not just UPFs.
