Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the association between dietary patterns, obesity, and glycemic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in 2015 at a diabetes reference center in Rio de Janeiro. Sociodemographic data and those related to outpatient follow-ups were obtained from the medical records. The assessment of food consumption was performed using a 24 h food recall. Obesity was defined as body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age) ≥ +1 z-score. Glycemic control was assessed using glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c). Dietary patterns were generated by factorial analysis, and each individual's adherence to these dietary patterns was determined by the factor loadings and then classified into terciles. RESULTS The study population included 120 children and adolescents, among whom 5 dietary patterns were identified. The prevalence of obesity was 31.7% (n = 38), and 64.2% (n = 77) of the participants had inadequate glycemic control. We observed that individuals with higher adherence to dietary pattern five, characterized by a greater consumption of ultra-processed foods, had higher odds of having higher HbA1c levels (OR = 3.49; 95% CI = 1.18-11.16). CONCLUSIONS Higher consumption of ultra-processed foods can be detrimental to glycemic control in children and adolescents. Thus, food intake monitoring is of paramount importance as part of the multidisciplinary care of patients with T1DM.

Abstract
Dramatically increasing trends in consumption of ultra-processed foods have been reported across the globe. Public concern about the health consequences of ultra-processed foods is high. This manuscript provides a comprehensive review of trends in global consumption of ultra-processed foods, dietary nutrient profile of ultra-processed foods, demographic, socioeconomic, psychological, and behavioral characteristics of ultra-processed food consumers, current evidence from longitudinal studies at the population level on the association between ultra-processed foods consumption and major health outcomes (including all-cause and cause-specific mortality, cardiovascular disease, overweight and obesity, body composition and fat deposition, diabetes, cancer, and gastrointestinal and other diseases), potential mechanisms linking ultra-processed foods with these outcomes (nutrient displacement, factors that influence adiposity, and processing), and challenges and future research directions. The global trends in consumption of ultra-processed foods, the generally unfavorable nutrient profile of ultra-processed foods, the characteristics of ultra-processed food consumers, the accumulating longitudinal studies associating ultra-processed foods with major health outcomes, and the uncertainties and complexities in putative mechanisms all highlight the need for future high-quality epidemiologic and mechanistic investigations on this topic. It is critical to interpret findings in the light of the totality of evidence.
