Unhealthy food consumption among 20–59 years old adults in Bangladesh: Findings from a nationally representative cross-sectional survey
We found a high prevalence of SFS, SS, and SSBs consumption among 20-59 years old adults in Bangladesh. Several sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical factors were associated with unhealthy food consumption. These factors should be considered while designing and implementing interventions to reduce unhealthy food consumption in adults.
