Abstract

Objective: The study aims to analyse the eating patterns and consumption of ultra-processed food (UPFs) among individuals with and without diabetes.

Methods: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted across Pune, India, with 100 individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and 208 without diabetes. A detailed FFQ (Food Frequency Questionnaire) developed by NOVA-UPF Screener with 33 ultra-processed food items was used to evaluate the consumption patterns of UPF.

Results: Most of the participants with diabetes have a habit of eating breakfast daily (68%), prefer lunch from home (72%), and about 20% avoid eating at a restaurant. While only 45.7% of the participants without diabetes have breakfast daily, and 88.4% prefer to eat lunch outside rather than homemade food. Comparative analysis shows that all 33 UPFs were consumed significantly less by individuals with diabetes than those without diabetes (p < 0.001).

Conclusion: The reduced intake of UPFs highlights greater dietary caution among individuals with T2D. Therefore, these findings emphasize the importance of promoting healthy eating habits and limiting UPF consumption among the general population to prevent the onset of metabolic conditions like diabetes.

2型糖尿病患者与非2型糖尿病患者加工食品消费模式的比较研究

目的：本研究旨在分析糖尿病患者和非糖尿病患者的饮食模式和超加工食品（upf）的消费。方法：在印度浦那进行了一项比较横断面研究，其中有100名2型糖尿病（T2D）患者和208名非糖尿病患者。采用NOVA-UPF Screener开发的详细的FFQ（食物频率问卷），对33种超加工食品进行消费模式评估。结果：大多数糖尿病患者有每天吃早餐的习惯（68%），更喜欢在家吃午餐（72%），约20%避免在餐馆吃饭。而没有糖尿病的参与者中，只有45.7%的人每天吃早餐，88.4%的人更喜欢在外面吃午餐，而不是在家做饭。比较分析显示，所有33种upf的消耗量，糖尿病患者明显少于非糖尿病患者（p < 0.001）。结论：upf摄入量的减少强调了T2D患者在饮食上的谨慎性。因此，这些发现强调了在普通人群中促进健康饮食习惯和限制UPF消费以预防糖尿病等代谢疾病发病的重要性。
