Abstract

Purpose of review: Detail recent advancements in the science on ultra-processed food (UPF) addiction, focusing on estimated prevalence rates and emerging health disparities; progress towards identifying biological underpinnings and behavioral mechanisms; and implications for weight management.

Recent findings: Notable developments in the field have included: (1) estimating the global prevalence of UPF addiction at 14% of adults and 15% of youths; (2) revealing health disparities for persons of color and those with food insecurity; (3) observing altered functioning across the brain-gut-microbiome axis; (4) providing early evidence for UPF withdrawal; and (5) elucidating poorer weight management outcomes among persons with UPF addiction. The breadth of recent work on UPF addiction illustrates continued scientific and public interest in the construct and its implications for understanding and treating overeating behaviors and obesity. One pressing gap is the lack of targeted interventions for UPF addiction, which may result in more optimal clinical outcomes for this underserved population.

超加工食品成瘾：最新研究成果。

综述目的：详细介绍超加工食品（UPF）成瘾科学的最新进展，重点是估计流行率和新出现的健康差异；在确定生物学基础和行为机制方面取得的进展；以及对体重管理的影响：该领域的显著进展包括(最近的发现：该领域的显著发展包括：（1）估计全球 UPF 上瘾的流行率为成人的 14%，青少年的 15%；（2）揭示了有色人种和粮食不安全人群的健康差异；（3）观察到大脑-肠道-微生物组轴的功能改变；（4）提供了 UPF 戒断的早期证据；以及（5）阐明了 UPF 上瘾患者的体重管理效果较差。近期有关UPF成瘾的研究范围之广，表明了科学界和公众对这一概念及其对理解和治疗暴饮暴食行为和肥胖症的影响的持续兴趣。一个亟待解决的问题是缺乏针对UPF成瘾的干预措施，而这可能会为这一未得到充分服务的人群带来更理想的临床结果。
