Vplyv ultraspracovaných potravín na dyslipidémiu

The impact of ultra-processed foods on dyslipidemia

Ultra-processed foods (UPF) are characterized as food products mainly composed of cheap industrial ingredients, additives, and newly created products, often with little or no nutritional value. The poor nutrient composition of UPF is one of the proposed mechanisms linking them to adverse health outcomes. UPF generally have higher energy, saturated or trans fats, sugar, cholesterol, and salt content, while lacking essential nutrients. The relationship between UPF and dyslipidemia has been examined in several observational studies. The results of these studies support a possible association between UPF intake and dyslipidemia, mainly showing a link with the risk of elevated triglyceride levels and low HDL, but the evidence is limited by the size and methodological quality of the studies published so far.

Overview

Ultraspracované potraviny (UPF) sú charakterizované ako potravinárske výrobky zložené predovšetkým z lacných priemyselných zložiek, prísad a novovytvorených produktov, často s malou alebo žiadnou nutričnou hodnotou. Zlé zloženie živín v UPF je jedným z predpokladaných mechanizmov, ktoré ich spájajú s nepriaznivými zdravotnými následkami. UPF majú v priemere vyšší obsah energie, nasýtených alebo transtukov, cukru, cholesterolu a soli, pričom im chýbajú esenciálne živiny. Vzťah medzi UPF a dyslipidémiami bol sledovaný vo viacerých observačných štúdiách. Výsledky týchto štúdií podporujú možnú súvislosť medzi príjmom UPF a dyslipidémiou, ukazuje sa hlavne súvislosť s rizikom zvýšených hladín triglyceridov a nízkej hladiny HDL-cholesterolu, dôkazy sú však limitované veľkosťou a metodologickou kvalitou doteraz publikovaných štúdií.
