Abstract

                                    Currently, degenerative diseases are not only experienced by elderly people, but also in teenagers and adults. The disease is triggered by an unhealthy lifestyle, such as lack of physical activity and poor diet. Poor diet, such as high consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF), can trigger various health problems. UPF has low nutritional quality but has high energy, fat, and salt content. UPF may therefore trigger an increase in the incidence of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and cancer in society. Objective: This review aims to summarize and present the research evidence relating to the relationship between UPF consumption and the incidence of degenerative diseases in the community. Methods: The researchers used a scoping method by collecting and selecting relevant literature related to the consumption of UPFs associated with the incidence of obesity, diabetes mellitus, CVD, and cancer within the last 5 years (2018-2023) through Google Scholar, PubMed, and ScienceDirect. Respondents in this study were between the ages of 18 to 85 years. Results: From 7.937 articles within the last 5 years (2018-2023), nine articles were selected for further identification. The articles consisted of four cohort studies, a cross-sectional study, a multi-case-control study, a randomized control trial, and two reviews which were conducted among adolescents and adults in several countries. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between the consumption of UPFs and an increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, CVD, cancer, and even death, with a greater proportion of female respondents experiencing these various problems.Conclusion: This review highlights the negative impacts of UPFs, where higher consumption of UPF has led to the increased incidence of non-communicable diseases in the community, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, CVD, and cancer.
